A member asked:

What is "sticky plaque" in your arteries and how can you prevent it or get rid of it? how would you know you had this problem?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hardening of artery: As we age, our blood vessels become more rigid and areas of inflammation result in the walls. Lipid deposition can narrow the lumen and if this proceeds, blood flow can slow or cease causing distal damage. Best to prevent as much as possible by treating hypertension, eating healthy, exercising, especially aerobics, and maybe taking a baby aspirin once daily. Work with your doctor,
