10. Treatment
As things stand, there is no known way to reverse the damage done by atherosclerosis. There is a lot that we can do, however, to help prevent the condition from getting worse. If the condition is noticed early, and appropriate action is taken, then many people with the condition can still go on to have relatively healthy lives.
There are some medications that can help to reduce high blood pressure and other conditions that can contribute to atherosclerosis. In some instances, it may be necessary for the patient to undergo surgery. Regardless, living a healthy, active life is by far the best way to treat the condition in the majority of cases.
