For more than 30 years, people with fatty buildups of plaque in their arteries (atherosclerosis) may have heard about a “”miracle cure”" called chelation (pronounced “”ke-LA’shun”") therapy. But you may not know that the American Heart Association and other medical and scientific groups have spoken out against this treatment.
This answers the most frequently asked questions about chelation therapy. It also gives the American Heart Association’s position on this procedure, as well as those of other highly regarded scientific organizations.
What’s atherosclerosis?
Atherosclerosis is also called “”hardening of the arteries.”" It occurs when the inner walls of the arteries become lined with deposits of fat, cholesterol and other substances, including calcium. This fatty buildup usually starts early in life and gradually gets worse over many years. That’s why middle-aged and older people are more likely to have the disease.
As plaque builds up, the arteries become hard and constricted. They lose their ability to expand and contract as blood flows through them and they get narrower. These changes make it harder for blood to flow through them, so the heart must work harder to pump blood throughout the body.
If this plaque ruptures or a blood clot blocks a narrowed artery, a heart attack, stroke or other serious medical problem can result. A heart attack happens when an artery bringing blood to the heart muscle is blocked. A stroke occurs when an artery to the brain is blocked
