am new on the block - so please excuse if
I there is something that I ought to have
read which should have avoided this
message.
I am interested in getting the plaque out
of my arteries. I have buergers'disease.
What can be done to remove the plaque?
I wonder what the chances of reversing
heart condition are? As I read it I can
expect a 30% improvement in walking
distance if I follow general advice and
then a slow regression until a heart
attack comes to collect me. Is this
right?

Buerger's disease isn't atherosclerosis,
it appears to be an allergic reaction to a
component of tobacco smoke - therefore the
main treatment is to stop smoking
