ANECDOTE

Personal Plaque Reversal And CT Proof

  • Ford Brewer reversed about 20 years of arterial plaque and documented it with imaging.
  • He ordered a CT angiogram with AI analysis to show plaque character and anatomy.
INSIGHT

Character Trumps Quantity In Plaque Risk

  • Plaque character (soft vs calcified) matters far more than plaque volume or location.
  • Soft, low-density plaque is inflamed, liquefies, and causes clots that lead to heart attacks.
ADVICE

Keep Postprandial Glucose Under 140

  • Avoid foods that push your blood sugar above 140 mg/dL to protect arteries.
  • When your glucose rises above 140 mg/dL, take a walk or do light exercise to lower it.
