Irma Bagdoniene: What If… Plaque Could Heal?
Irma Bagdoniene, Cardiologist Specializing in Prevention & Lipidology, shared on LinkedIn:
”What if… plaque could heal?
Plaque is not static. It can progress — but it can also stabilize, regress, and heal.
Only if we act early and decisively.
Lowering LDL-C is not just prevention.
It is vascular repair.
Intensive LDL-C reduction reduces lipid content, thickens the fibrous cap, dampens inflammation, and turns vulnerable plaque into stable plaque.
Healing requires time spent below threshold, not years above it.
This means:
- Early, profound LDL-C lowering
- Combination therapy upfront when risk is high
- Targets that are low enough, long enough
What if we treated atherosclerosis like a chronic wound — one that only heals when the insult is removed?
Plaque healing is possible.
So worth to read!”
