Not at all meaningful actually. In less you mean a cardiac transplant. Once your heart is damaged, it's damaged. That's so. That's why early detection of coronary plaque is so important. If you catch it before you have symptoms, as I did, it's possible that you can stop the progression. If you do that, Dr Davis says that, in his experience, he has never seen a person who did so have a MI. He also says he has had patients in very early stages, under 150 Agatston score, completely regress to 0. Among those with more, such as me, most are able to slow, stop or regress their plaque. Some can't. There is a lot still to be found out about Heart Disease. Even if you have had a MI, it's still possible to stop plaque from increasing. Which means that you probably won't have a second one. Since 95% of all MI's occur in new soft plaque; if you stop soft plaque from existing, you are in a state that is as close as you can be today to a cure.
