Heart Surgeon Explains Differences Between Soft and Hard Arterial Plaques
Cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Jeremy London differentiates between soft and hard arterial plaques. Soft plaque, described as fatty, inflamed, and unstable, poses a short-term risk due to its potential to rupture and cause sudden heart attacks. Hard plaque, also known as calcified plaque, is older, more stable, and indicates long-term cardiovascular risk without typically rupturing. Dr. London highlights these distinctions and mentions screening tests for plaque identification.
