We trace the life cycle of atherosclerosis from quiet plaque buildup to sudden artery-closing clots that cause heart attacks, strokes, bowel infarction, and limb ischemia. We share clear warning signs, risk checks, imaging options, lifestyle moves, and modern therapies that change outcomes.
• why plaque forms and why it ruptures
• how one mechanism drives four major diseases
• cardiac, brain, gut, and leg warning signs
• transient ischaemic attack as an urgent red flag
• physical clues including pulses, bruits, and ABI
• key labs LDL, HDL, triglycerides, HbA1c, hsCRP, Lp(a)
• imaging with coronary calcium scoring and carotid ultrasound
• prevention through smoking cessation, diet, and weight control
• medications statins, ezetimibe, bempedoic acid, PCSK9 inhibitors
• antiplatelet risks and benefits
• when and how procedures restore blood flow
• the role of ultra-processed foods in rising risk
If you experience chest pain, stroke-like symptoms, severe abdominal pain after meals, or leg pain at rest with cold toes, contact a doctor immediately
