What is Plaque Buildup?
Plaque buildup in arteries is a progressive disease called atherosclerosis that
can start in early adulthood and get worse over time. Find out more by watching
our in-depth video series.
Should You Be Concerned?
Increased plaque buildup may be a concern if you have high cholesterol and other risk factors
such as high blood pressure, diabetes, a family history of early heart disease,
or if you smoke or are overweight.
Find out if you have risk factors that can contribute to the progression of atherosclerosis.
Talk with your doctor about it and ask if CRESTOR® (rosuvastatin
calcium) is right for you. When diet and exercise alone aren’t enough, adding CRESTOR lowers bad cholesterol by up to 52%.*
And CRESTOR is FDA-approved to slow plaque buildup.
*At the 10-mg dose versus 7% with placebo.
