What are the tortuous arteries in the body?

How does the body get rid of plaque in arteries?

  • What is the natural way the body gets rid of plaque in the arteries? How fast does it happen? Does it happen at all? I can't find any answers in the past yahoo questions or any online searching. What's the process called if it does get rid of it? I know there are things to lower your cholesterol, but I don't want an answer on cholesterol, just plaque. Thanks :)

  • Answer:

    From what I have learned, you can't really get rid of plaque, at least not in a nautrally safe way. Sometimes the plaque can break off your arteries and start floating in the blood stream, a condition called embolism. Even though you don't have the plaque attached to your arteries, it definitely is not something you want. The plaque can block your arteries and cause a heart attack.
