Radiation induced atherosclerosis?

[Gtuva]

Just found out radiation can introduce atherosclerosis so now I have another problem to confront. I have historically low total cholesterol and LDL levels so no concerns but after a CT and ultrasonic for subacute obstruction I learned I had moderate to severe abdominal aortic atherosclerosis. Anybody else dealt with this problem? I’m more scared of this than my 30 years of on-going bowel problems.
