Preventing or delaying the onset of coronary artery disease is a great strategy for living longer. The challenge is that the things you do to prevent heart disease are unlikely to pay dividends for a very long time—many years if not decades. This is a program that starts the day of your heart attack.

One of the most common questions I get is, “ Do I need a stent to treat my heart disease?” Arteries generally narrow and occlude for one of two reasons: The progressive accumulation of plaque. A plaque ruptures, and a clot forms in the artery, thereby occluding it. Why do arteries block? The answer?
