How do cardiologists diagnose vulnerable plaques?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Agree with Dr. K: There is no reliable way to diagnose vulnerable or unstable plaques. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
