A member asked:
Will the fat that clogs arteries stay there permanently or disappear with exercise?
A doctor has provided 1 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.
