“Atherosclerosis is a condition where the arteries in your heart become partially or fully blocked by a fatty material known as plaque. This can lead to coronary artery disease, which is also known as coronary heart disease or heart disease.

Unfortunately, there isn’t a cure for coronary artery disease, and you can’t reverse this condition once you’re diagnosed. But you can make lifestyle changes to reduce your risk of developing further health problems, such as a heart attack. Options include adjusting your diet, exercising more and limiting your alcohol intake.

“Although we can’t cure heart disease, we can make it better,” says cardiologist Steven Nissen, MD, Chief Academic Officer, Sydell and Arnold Miller Family Heart, Vascular & Thoracic Institute. “Most forms of heart disease are very treatable today.”
