Current Research
Newer clinical trial results (2007), e.g. the COURAGE trial, have demonstrated that aggressively treating some of the physiologic behavioral factors that promote atheromas with "optimal medical therapy" (not opening narrowing(s), aka stenoses, per-se) produced the most effective results in terms of improving human survival and quality of life for those identified as having already developed advanced cardiovascular disease with many vulnerable plaques.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or research:
“This is no argument against teaching manners to the young. On the contrary, it is a fine old tradition that ought to be resurrected from its current mothballs and put to work...In fact, children are much more comfortable when they know the guide rules for handling the social amenities. It’s no more fun for a child to be introduced to a strange adult and have no idea what to say or do than it is for a grownup to go to a formal dinner and have no idea what fork to use.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
“The research on gender and morality shows that women and men looked at the world through very different moral frameworks. Men tend to think in terms of “justice” or absolute “right and wrong,” while women define morality through the filter of how relationships will be affected. Given these basic differences, why would men and women suddenly agree about disciplining children?”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
