Stopping the bad "habits" is a vital start to recovery. But at the stage that 
Maggie is at, all her arteries are pretty certainly badly blocked. As far as I 
can tell she has not had an infarction ( very much hopefully, because that 
restricts some forms of remedial action).
The next steps for her (as outlined by Nathan and Chuck) are to eat a diet 
somewhat akin to a :Mediterranean diet ( that alone will lessen premature 
death probability by about 25%) and begin exercising. Exercising actually 
produces chemicals within the arteries to cleanse them. The Med. diet has 
too much dairy food, red meat, and some fats to be healthy. And it is VERY 
helpful to take from 1 to 6 gm per day of L-arginine.
The books by Dr Clark (ISBN 1-59975-022-8 ) for medical advice, and Dr 
Caldwell Esselstyn III ( ISBN 10: 1-58333-300-2  ) for recipes, are two of 
four I recommend.. 
These vital next steps are designed to remove the clogging in the arteries.

Apparently, PAD = Peripheral ArteriaL Disease ( the same stuff but in the 
legs), is a tougher challenge. I have not seen any hypothesis about why. 

It's going to be a long haul.
