Core Tip Cardiovascular disease (CVD) care still leaves a 20 % five-year major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) risk. This review outlines an integrative, root-cause strategy combining dietary linoleic acid (LA) restriction ( < 5 g/day) to lower oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL), non-invasive enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) to boost nitric-oxide–mediated perfusion, and plaque-targeted nanoliposomal chelation to reverse calcification. These scalable, affordable interventions collectively target oxidative stress, endothelial inflammation and plaque instability, offering a realistic roadmap to transform coronary events from commonplace to rare and potentially reshape future CVD management.
