    There is no cure for atherosclerosis, sorry all they can do is to make sure it won't progress and will stay stable. So stable atherosclerotic plaques won't obstruct your blood vessels completely. Atherosclerosis, especially kidney may cause high blood pressure. Best thing to do is take aspirin or clopidogrel.

    It can. But you haven’t heard this. Why not? Because there are two competing models of atherosclerosis. The old model describes arteries as so many mechanical tubes that have no way to protect themselves from the inevitable clogging that comes from the consumption of cholesterol and saturated fat. The other, new model sees arteries as living dynamic tissue that, in the context of a healthy diet, is capable of growth, repair, and rising to the challenge of rigorous exercise
