Hidden Artery Plaque Found in 57% of Symptom-Free Adults
Original: Artery Plaque Found in 57% of Adults Without Symptoms
A new report indicates that artery plaque is present in 57% of adults who show no symptoms of cardiovascular disease. The finding suggests that silent atherosclerosis is far more common than many assume, prompting discussion about earlier screening and preventive measures such as diet, exercise and cholesterol checks. Health commentators are urging symptom-free adults to discuss cardiovascular risk assessment with their doctors, since plaque can build up for years without warning signs.
Why now: The unexpectedly high share of asymptomatic adults with artery plaque is raising concern about undetected heart disease risk.
