| | Most heart attacks and strokes are due to sudden rupture of cholesterol plaque in the wall of an artery. The natural course is a recurring cycle of largely preventable cardiovascular events. Optimal cholesterol treatment stabilizes these plaques, prevents rupture and stops the recurring cycle of these events.
The natural course of heart disease is one of progression and recurring events - requiring frequent hospitalizations, cardiac catheterizations, stents, angioplasties, heart bypasses, defibrillators, more medications, etc. This is a big financial drain to the healthcare system.Optimal cholesterol treatment affects the cholesterol plaque itself causing plaque stabilization and in some cases even plaque regression. These changes in the plaque can prevent or delay the onset of the first event and then subsequently prevent or delay the onset of a second event.
