Abstract EN
Coronary heart disease continues to be the leading cause of death in the United States.
Current attempts to treat atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease often involve pharmaceutical and surgical treatments.
While these treatments are successful in managing the pain from coronary heart disease, they do little to prevent or stop it.
There are a number of clinical strategies that are currently being researched to treat atherosclerosis through HDL-increasing therapies.
These clinical studies have shown positive effects through nutritional intervention, exercise, stress reduction, and tobacco and alcohol cessation.
These treatment options are explored in greater detail, including their potential to halt and even reverse atherosclerosis.
The results from these recent studies and how they relate to the mechanism of reverse cholesterol transport are also critically examined.
Reverse cholesterol transport is a multistep process resulting in the net movement of cholesterol from peripheral tissues back to the liver via the plasma.
The mechanism of reverse cholesterol transport is also further explored in this review.
