How to dissolve Atherosclerotic plaques?

[Jogeshwar]

Does endogenous bile salt dissolve  Atherosclerotic plaques?
How?
Any other modes of treatment to dissolve  Atherosclerotic plaques?

My height is of 65 inches.My pre-surgery weight usually fluctuated between 75 Kg to 78Kg.Now it is fluctuating between 65Kg to 69Kg.What is lost?

Thanks for keeping the topic alive.

But is eecp a cure? From what I've read, most people have to have the treatment repeated at regular intervals. All we are doing is creating natural bypasses in the form of collaterals, but we still know very little about them in reality. Do these vessels disease over time? how many can we form?

I wish to add on the subject of EECP's efficacy , in continuation of ed34's
comments on 17th Feb. to this column.

I am a patient of PAD as also CAD aged 69, and had CABG 13 years back and continue even today heart medications following the heart bypass surgery.  My vascular surgeons ruled out surgical interventions
for my PAD and CAD.  Besides medicines for PAD, he advised me to try
any alternative therapy like EECP, if I so desire. I did opt for EECP.
The point I wish to make is, that artheriosclorosis is  a silent killer, by
slowly  reducing blood supplies to my brain  cells, eye nerves, ear nerves
as I saw it myself by the doppler test of my Carotid arteries in neck zone.

When my vascular surgeon suggested an abdominal ultrasound, I got the shock when it revealed that my  kidneys are having  symptoms  of damages. A scan of kidneys revealed that  because of poor blood circulation, both the kidneys are  performing  below normal efficiency for
quite sometime and thus damages to kidney cells are evident.

You see the dangers,how  arterial b lockages are causing undue harm all over our body.  No surgery can remedy this, except diet, exercise and
EECP.  EECP certainly  helps blood circulation with added  force and
floods the  starved-cells with oxygen. By  this they  stop the decay  at
cell level  in different parts like, kidney, prostrate,  eye, brain cells etc.

Beyond doubt, EECP is a welcome boon to any old person to keep in
better health all round.  My own experience proves it.

So what we need to wait for is the cheap home version to be released so we can all plug in at night for an hour.
What would be interesting is to know if it prevents disease from occurring in people with a strong family history of heart disease. I suppose that kind of research is very difficult because how would you know if they were going to develop disease in the first place.
Do you think it benefits other organs, such as the liver and kidneys?

Strain on the vessels may not be an issue with EECP.   Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) has been demonstrated to be an effective method for the treatment of atherosclerotic vascular disease. However, the exact mechanism underlying the beneficial effects of EECP is not completely clear. We hypothesized that EECP leads to improvement in ENDOTHELIUM  function, contributing to its clinical benefits. .

The computational results show that when EECP is applied, the blood flow rate and the wall shear stress level of the artery are increased in a cadiac cycle, as well as the pulsatile character of blood flow and wall shear stress. Which are possibly the hemodynamic actors that lead to the improving of the endothelial function which is thought to be directly relating to the atherosclerosis
