1) Try an internet search for "Serrapeptase".
Last I checked, there wasn't a lot of information available on the 'drug' but it preaches to be able to dissolve plaques.
2) Look under the website, "thecureforheartdisease".
You'll find an extensive and detailed background on coronary heart disease.
I would stress-
a) high dose vitamin C supplementation.
Ideally, take no more than 1000 mg at a time about every 3 hours (preventative-about 6000 mg daily; active disease-10,000 mg daily), to the point of bowel intolerance (diarrhea). This is purportedly a natural statin (classification of drugs which reduces/prevents fat deposits on the arterial wall). Take with at least a little bit of food for best absorption; AND
b) L-proline and L-lysine.
For prevention, take about 500 mg L-proline and 1000 mg L-lysine, every 8 hours.
For active disease, double the dose.
Again, science has apparently found fats to deposit upon arterial walls via a receptor site that has an affinity for L-proline and L-lysine. If these substances are available, the fat purportedly will not adhere.
These are suggestions based on MY beliefs after reading the information. Your interpretation may be different.
Make sure you take the long and necessary time to review not only the website listed but the links as well. Don't sell the information (or yourself) short.

A cardiologist by the name of Dean Ornish has a diet book out there, but I can't recall the name. You should be able to search using his name and find the book. Patients using his low fat approach in studies were shown to have decreased plaque deposits in the arteries after being on his diet. Good luck!

Currently there are no drugs that "dissolve" plaques in your arteries. The best you can do is to prevent them from getting bigger. This is accomplished by lowering your LDL cholesterol and raising your HDL cholesterol. Lipid-lowering drugs will get your numbers into a safe range that will prevent making new lesions. Diet and exercise are also very important.

i wouldn't know exactly what you mean with "dissolve" but maybe this can help
If you'd like to reduce the amount of fat streaks in your blood vessels the best way to do this is by incrementing good cholesterol (HDL) and reducing the formation of those streaks by reducing bad cholesterol or (LDL).
Excercise and eating right are the best option for doing both, although you should have lab work documenting this information and always go to your doctor.
There are Lipid lowering medicine but for the most part what they do is prevent this situation, not actually reverse it, and they are all prescribed medication, so you'd have to go to the Dr office first
Hope I've answered your question

Eat a healthy diet. Include fruits and veggies and lots of whole grains. Eat low-fat protiens, such as beans/legumes and skinless chicken breast/lean cuts of beef. Exercise daily (at least 30 minutes) will also be beneficial!

Believe it or not I've been told by a coworker that donating blood can help lower your cholesterol level, they equated it with changing you oil! I have no idea if this true but I'd sure like to find out! (DR. visit coming up!)
