The same principle applies to assessing and managing your risk of heart disease. I am frequently asked ‘ When ’ should people start thinking about assessing their risk of heart disease and also focusing on reducing it. Unless, of course, you do not have any interest in reducing your risk of heart disease.

Exercise prevents and reverses cardiovascular disease, but whether high-intensity exercise training (HIIT) is safe and effective for adults after minimally invasive heart surgery is unknown. Exercise is a wonder drug for cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention and reversal. Does intense exercise adversely affect coronary plaque?

Heart disease does not kill people. Heart attacks do. Appreciating this distinction is critical to understanding heart disease. Heart disease is the presence of plaque or atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries. This, of course, could be 200 years of age for some people. The answer is yes.

Researchers show that genetic traits influence the cellular composition of atherosclerotic plaques, which over time will affect the risk of such lesions to cause a stroke or heart attack. The new knowledge can be used to improve the risk assessment and treatment of patients with atherosclerosis in the future.

Subscribe now So why is it that so many people are having heart attacks at less than 65 years of age? The reason: They were accumulating plaque in their coronary arteries much earlier than their peers. You can’t have a heart attack if you don’t have plaque in your coronary arteries. The answer: Risk Factors.

Preventing heart disease is possible. To prevent heart disease, you need to know what causes it, how to measure the relevant factors and what to do about them. When we say heart disease, what we really mean is plaque in the artery wall. You just need to know how. This Is Known As Atherosclerosis.

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. Of course, this all seems like a good idea.
