Insights
Significant regression of coronary artery lesions is rare. This case study shows diet, lifestyle changes, and lipid-lowering therapy dramatically reduced coronary artery stenosis.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Medical Case Studies
Background:
- Preventing coronary artery lesion progression is established.
- Angiographically documented regression of significant coronary artery lesions is uncommon.
Abstract:
While strategies for the prevention of the progression of coronary artery lesions have been proposed, documentation of the regression of significant coronary artery lesions is rare. Lifestyle modifications and exercise have been reported to influence the regression of coronary disease, but a dramatic disappearance of coronary artery lesions demonstrated angiographically has been rarely reported. We describe a case where diet and lifestyle modifications, along with lipid-lowering therapy, led to the significant regression of coronary artery stenosis.
