Question 1

will the fat that clogs arteries stay there permanently or disappear with exercise?

Accepted Answer

See below: The fat or plaque in arteries does not disappear. The hope is to stabilize the plaque with statins, control of blood pressure, smoking cessation and exercise. Hopefully this will prevent plaque rupture which is the cause of heart attacks.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Exercise: There is little evidence to show success with plaque regression by any means.

Question 3

i was wondering, what can i do to clean arteries, my sisters had her neck done 2x for clogs. i exercise no smoke drink or drugs, tyvm.

Accepted Answer

Arteries: Please continue to see your doc and do what he/she says.  Beyond that, consider a process called chelation.  It can be done w/oral natural meds or the older and more time-consuming IV drip method.  There is lots of science to back this up but some docs may not be aware.  The TACT study is a good one.  TACT 2 is presently being formulated.  Peace and good health.

Accepted Answer

Only short term: All the "breakthroughs" in treating block arteries including balloon dilatation,stents,ultrasound and surgeries are meant for temporary relief which is easy. The big challenge is how to keep the artery open on a long term basis and there is so far no substitute for a healthy lifestyle including stop smoking ,healthy diet and regular exercise plus  aspirin,statin. Control of BP and diabetes also
