Coronary plaque begins as a soft & unstable plaque. It can be inflamed, rupture, & cause cardiac events. John Lorscheider explains how to convert a high-risk plaque into a lower-risk, hard, stabilized plaque.
Coronary plaque begins as a soft and unstable plaque with a thin fibrous cap. It is often inflamed too. It has the ability to rupture and cause cardiac events. How do we take that type of higher-risk plaque and convert it to lower-risk, hard, and stabilized plaque?
About John Lorscheider - John is a frequent contributor. He’s also a PrevMed patient. Like most of us, John’s family and personal history include significant cardiovascular risk. John came from a technical background and spent his entire career in providing engineered fluid process systems and equipment to industry, as well as performing root cause failure analyses for his customers. His own study and research made it clear he wasn’t getting the whole story about prevention from his docs. They just didn’t know. So he’s been in several roles of running prevention medical groups to help further the science.
