A member asked:

I had an angiogram 3years ago which didn't work .since then i haven't smoked and exercised regulary.would they have softened any for another angiogram ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Perhaps: Depending on whether your plaques were already calcified, and to what extent. Once atheromatous plaques have calcified, they generally have irreversible changes. The only way to tell is to try again. Good luck. Congratulations on your new healthy habits.
