Can heart vascular plaque be eliminated?

Heart vascular plaque generally can not be eliminated.

Heart vascular plaque is mostly the result of atherosclerotic lesions, which are formed due to cholesterol deposition under the endothelium after vascular endothelial damage. once formed, it is difficult to dissolve. The clinical treatment principle is to delay further development and cannot remove the plaque that has already formed. Therefore, heart vascular plaque generally cannot be eliminated.

Patients with heart vascular plaque should pay attention to a reasonable diet, reduce lipid and cholesterol intake, and prevent further deterioration of the disease. Physical exercise can be carried out appropriately when physical conditions permit, which helps to improve the cardiopulmonary level.
