Atherosclerosis: Treatment of atherosclerosis consists of proper diet(low saturated fat), treatment of high cholesterol and LDL cholesterol, avoidance of smoking, no added salt diet to help control blood pressure. The physician prescribes necessary medications, ideal weight and physical activity and schedules periodic appropriate testing. Antihypertensive medications should be prescribed to avoid spikes in bp.
