There are no treatments to reverse these ischemic changes in your brain. As my neurologist told me that you can't rotoroot your brain. I would recommend that you get a CAC test. The same mechanism that causes these changes in your brain are the ones that cause CAD. You can be proactive in managing this.

Could you explain CAC and CAD? I know MRI, CAT, PET but I am not familiar with those. Thanks!
