Heart Disease - Will Dissolving Fat Affect Arteries?

Hello,

 

The dissolved fat resulting from the cool sculpting (Zeltiq) is minimal per day. So your blood fat level is not going to be elevated in a way to increase your risks as a heart disease patient.

The fat "dumping" in the patient's blood stream is not significant enough to induce negative impacts.

I hope this helps.

Best of luck to you.

Unlike having Ultrashape (external ultrasound) and other devices, which liberate triglycerides from the fat cells, Zeltiq's CoolSculpting kills the fat cells and there is a slow metabolism and clearance of these dead cells so there is no sudden circulation of triglycerides in the system.  Even the Ultrashape, which has gone through many years of FDA trials (still pending in U.S.) there didn't seem to be a rise in the serum triglycerides that was significant.

During the FDA trials, there were several studies done that monitored blood/serum cholesterol and triglycerides over a period of time after a CoolSculpting treatment.  These studies all were negative for any changes of cholesterol or triglycerides post CoolSculpting treatment - therefore not being harmful or helpful.
