**That should say a 23% increase in my coronary plaque -- from 245 mm3 to 317 mm3. In the span of 16 months while taking a statin and fenofibrate, crushing LDL under 50, keeping all excess weight off, exercising regularly, and improving diet/incorporating Mediterranean principles.

Thanks for posting this thread and updating it.

I hesitate to offer anything because you are seeing such high profile physicians. (How are you able to get appointments?). Yet I have been working with a cardiac dietitian and a couple of things caught my eye. You say you have lost weight, but is it in the normal range? Are you below the 40” circumference for men? Have you checked your nitric oxide levels? Did you have insulin levels tested or only blood glucose?

As I said, I am sure this has all been addressed. I feel your pain and hope you are able to figure this out. Hang in there. Keep us posted.
