Description
Yuki Yoshimitsu and co-authors wrote a case report from 2024 on a man whose heart artery plaque shrank on drugs alone. The patient was thirty-eight, with diabetes, poor blood fats, and high blood pressure. His care team chose a full drug plan first, to cut fats and blood sugar and ease strain on the heart. Insulin was used early to steady his sugar.
Over eight months, scans showed his plaque load fall from a very high share of the artery wall to about half. A gauge of blood flow past the narrow part rose from a poor score to a sound one. His blood sugar control also reached a good level within four months. They kept the drug plan and a set scan schedule. Stents, they say, can be held in reserve when scans show the plaque settling.
