"Scientists Find Potential Natural Way To Repair Arteries, Reduce Risk Of Heart Attacks And Strokes"

 HEALTH & SCIENCE NEWS REPORT.

HEALTH BUREAU:Scientists have discovered a new enzyme that may help arteries repair themselves, raising hopes for reversing heart disease without invasive procedures like stents or bypass surgery.

Early research suggests this enzyme is capable of breaking down arterial plaque the fatty buildup that is a primary cause of blockages leading to heart attacks and strokes.

HOW IT WORKS:

Arterial plaque forms when cholesterol, fats, and other substances accumulate along blood vessel walls. This narrows passages and increases cardiovascular risk.

Traditional treatments focus on:

Medications to manage cholesterol and blood pressure

Surgical interventions like angioplasty with stents or bypass surgery

Researchers say a naturally occurring enzyme that directly targets plaque could provide a less invasive, targeted alternative, potentially reducing the need for surgery.

WHAT THE EARLY RESEARCH SHOWS:

While still in the experimental phase, laboratory model studies have shown:

Reduced plaque buildup in arteries

Improved arterial function and blood flow

Scientists are now exploring safe ways to activate or enhance this enzyme in humans. The goal is to develop therapies that could either complement existing medications or eventually replace conventional treatments.

EXPERTS CAUTION:

Health experts emphasize that this discovery does not replace current heart health advice. Balanced nutrition, regular exercise, and monitoring blood pressure and cholesterol* remain critical for preventing heart disease.

"If future research confirms the enzyme’s effectiveness in humans, it could revolutionize cardiovascular care," researchers noted, calling it a potential "natural and targeted" way to fight one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide.

WHAT'S NEXT:

The next phase will involve human trials to test safety and efficacy before any therapy can be made available to patients.
