A member asked:
Should all arteries be checked to see if any plaque is building up?

Sure: It's always good to be evaluated to prevent diseases before they break bad, but the best plan is to prevent it all together. When it comes to "plaque" in the arteries, it's all about diet, exercise, not smoking, healthy diet, and well controlled cholesterol.
