During the past decade, the development of new tools to identify vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques has mobilized considerable energy, but no non-invasive methodology has emerged in clinical routine practice. Molecular imaging has the greatest potential for plaque detection through novel radiopharmaceuticals ...

What dissolves artery plaque? HDLis like a vacuum cleaner for cholesterol in the body. When it's at healthy levels in your blood, it removes extra cholesterol and plaque buildup in your arteries and then sends it to your liver. Your liver expels it from your body. Ultimately, this helps...
For example, smoking a single cigarette dramatically and temporarily increases blood pressure by activating the sympathetic nervous system. Exposure to tobacco smoke increases the risk of coronary-plaque rupture and causes coronary-artery spasm. A non-linear relationship between daily cigarette smoking and...

Bad cholesterol can contribute to artery-clogging plaque. Good cholesterol, on the other hand, helps remove plaque. In the end, it helps protect you from getting heart disease. Having too much of the bad, or not enough of the good, can lead to heart disease. How do I know if I have...
One of the most prevalent is coronary artery disorder (CAD). It is a condition where the arteries supplying the blood to your heart narrow or become blocked by the accumulation of plaque. This may cause a heart attack, stroke, or other serious health problems. Other types of cardiovascular ...
Others are made of a material that dissolves and that your body absorbs over time. They're coated in medicine that slowly releases into your artery to prevent it from being blocked again. Why Would You Need a Stent? If a fatty substance called plaque builds up inside an artery, it can ...
After plaque ruptures, platelets can gather and stick together to form another clot in your artery, which can cause another heart attack. Platelets are cells that help stop bleeding. BRILINTA IS NOT THE SAME AS ASPIRIN. THEY BOTH HELP KEEP PLATELETS FROM STICKING TOGETHER AND FORMING A CLOT....
