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.

Over 80% of early heart disease is preventable. However, most adults will start to develop advanced plaque in their coronary arteries early in life. By age 66, more than half of all females will have evidence of advanced plaque in their coronary arteries, as seen on a CT calcium score. Tsimane Tribe.

They knew they had not been doing all the things they should do, and they were worried that heart disease had them in its sights. Risk factors such as high blood pressure, smoking, and inactivity are important because the longer you are exposed to them, the higher the odds you will develop coronary artery disease sooner in life.

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.

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.
