Atherosclerosis develops over decades: Fatty Streak → Atheroma → Fibrous Plaque → Plaque Rupture Most acute events arise from vulnerable plaque biology, not stenosis severity. This is why we treat the plaque, not just the narrowing. 🔑: Focus on plaque stabilization—via aggressive LDL-C lowering and inflammation control—not just stenosis reversal. Essential for risk stratification, preventive therapy, and explaining “why early prevention matters” to patients. @cardiovisual ✨ #Cardiology #Atheros
