Is there a cure for Atherosclerosis if you have it?
336895
Yes, it possibly could be cured.  To cure the Atherosclerosis requires the removal of the plaque from all of the arteries. Then it is necessary to cure the Hyperinsulinemia that is a precipating cause of Atherosclerosis, because if not cured it can lead to a relapse.   Though to date medicine is not able to do either of these so I guess there is a cure but has never been done.

I don't know if there is a cure, but some things that might help would be to improve circulation. Use a pumice stone to exfoliate, massage legs, make a tea out of rosemary, fresh ginger, cayenne, ginko- mix about a 1/4 cup of any one or more with 3or 4 green or black tea bags to make a 1/2 gal. Do these all once or twice a day. \n\nOnly a suggestion- I am not a Dr.

Artery blockage can cause high BP if blood backs up at the blockage, but it generally won't cause high BP if there's blockage just at one point. The problem is that many people with atherosclerosis (plaque buildup in the arteries) have it throughout their body, just to different degrees at different points. Atherosclerosis will result in high systolic BP (the top number of the blood pressure). Blood pressure is best treated by a combination of methods. Regular exercise (such as walking several times a week more than usual) and diet changes (eating less fatty and salty foods for example) may help blood pressure in addition to medication, but it's important to talk to your doctor about any possible changes to your blood pressure treatment.

There is no magic cure. a Healthy diet and... EXERCISE!!!!

many forms of exercise have benifits in helping those with Coranary artery disease, such as walking, swimming, bike riding, or other forms of aerobic activity. Strength training such as lifting weights or calithetics can also provide benifits though not as "heart spacific" as aerobic exercise.  If you have CAD or any reason to think you may, check with your doctor to see what your limits might be or the best exercise for you as an individual. No exercise alone can prevent or reverse coranary artery disease there are too many other factors involved, but it can help many people live a longer, better life.  Make sure you check with a medical professional regarding your health condition and any exercise paln you might decide to try!!

I'm sorry to say, no there is no cure for it.  There is a lot of research, but no cure yet.  They are coming out with medications that can help.

There are a few who say yes (and buy this diet book to do it), but most of the literature points to preventing or significantly improving the signs and symptoms of chronic heart failure.  What needs to be determined is the cause of the chf.  Chf can be treated with diuretics, beta blockers, low salt diet, exercise, amongst other things.  Mitral valve prolapse does not usually interfere with your everyday life and often does not need need treatment, though if it is necessary, it can be treated as well.  Remember, you need to be in touch with your primary care doctor and a cardiac doctor as well.\n\nEdit:  What I  meant was there are some diets out there.  Check with your doctor.   The book I referred to is Dr. Dean's Ornish's Program for Reversing Heart Disease.  You should ask your physician about it.  See whether he approves.  It's basically just a certain diet, exercise, quit smoking if you do, type book that might help lower cholesterol levels.  However, because chf is so serious,  what is a good diet for one patient might not be a good diet for another.  It depends on your hdl and ldl readings and the cause of your chf.  It is by no means something I would suggest doing without your doctor's approval despite the impressive list of supporters.\n\nSources:  http://edition.cnn.com/HEALTH/library/DS/00061.html\n          and MSN health on the web

My dad is going through the same problem right now.  He had a scan done, and they are setting up for the vascular surgeon to go in and put in a stent.  He has had this done once before, we were told too much plaque build-up, cholesteral.  He is on Lipitor for that, but the Dr. said it HAS to be done!!  His other side is blocked 80%!!  So try to get in touch with your family Dr. to get set-up for tests ASAP to get a professional problem.  Someone go with the patient to write things down because the patient is usually pretty stressed out to remember what was said!!  Good Luck for Good Health.

Basically, it's plaque buildup in your aorta.  Atheromas can cause embolisms, stroke, etc.
