Carotid arteriosclerosis, how carotid arteriosclerosis is treated

Carotid arteriosclerosis, also known as carotid atherosclerosis, is a manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis in the carotid arteries, usually occurring in adolescence and gradually worsening with age. At present, it is believed to be closely related to the occurrence of ischemic stroke in the elderly. In the early stage of carotid arteriosclerosis, it is first manifested as intimart-media thickening, and then gradually forms atherosclerotic plaques, on the basis of which intraplaque hemorrhage, plaque rupture and shedding, mural thrombosis and secondary vascular stenosis occur, causing corresponding hemodynamic changes and leading to ischemic cerebrovascular events.

There are four blood vessels in the cerebral blood supply, as well as the vertebral artery situation, there is no detail, at present, it is common **drug control (control of three highs), carotid artery stent, or vascular endothelial dissection, depending on your economic situation and the patient's vascular situation, if the above situation is reversed, it is recommended to be admitted to the hospital in time**!

First of all, it is a clear diagnosis, whether the dizziness you said has visual rotation, if there is nausea and vomiting accompanied by two hearts, it is not necessarily vertigo caused by carotid artery insufficiency, but it is very likely to be vertebral artery or basal artery insufficiency, first do a vertebrobasilar Doppler ultrasound, and then be sure to see if the cervical spine is only vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis. And then we will discuss the issue of **.

The carotid artery is a relatively large blood vessel, the internal carotid artery directly supplies blood and oxygen to the brain tissue, and the external carotid artery supply blood and oxygen to the eyes, ears, nose, oral cavity and other five senses. If the carotid arteries are hardened, plaque forms in the walls of the blood vessels, making it difficult for blood to circulate. If it is not smooth, it often causes ischemia and hypoxia of brain tissue, and patients often feel dizzy, dizzy, poor memory, and significantly decline in thinking, and over time, it will cause brain atrophy.

If the hardened carotid artery has thick plaque that falls off and blocks the artery with blood flow, it will cause cerebral infarction, blindness, slurred speech, paralysis and other stroke manifestations, and even threaten life. It is advisable to use it as soon as possible**.

Atherosclerosis is a pathophysiological process in which lipids in the blood are deposited in the endothelium of blood vessels through enzyme mediation, and the result of atherosclerosis is plaque formation, narrowing and even vascular occlusion of blood vessels. And it is precisely because atherosclerosis is a pathophysiological process of birth, old age, sickness and death, so even if drugs** can reduce the size of plaque, it still cannot reverse the plaque, so that the blood vessels can restore the same elasticity and other properties as before. The first step is to make lifestyle changes, including quitting smoking, exercising, controlling weight, and eating a low-salt and low-fat diet.

Usually be sure to eat a low-salt and low-fat diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, never eat animal fat, you can choose some seafood, rich in unsaturated fatty acids, has a protective effect on blood vessels.

Carotid plaque is a sugar-like structure formed by the formation of a sugar lump in the bloodstream due to damage to the wall of the carotid artery due to a variety of risk factors, which is the same as atherosclerosis, and is affected by a variety of factors. Such as obesity, long-term smoking, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in the family, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, etc. The unstable plaque breaks off to form a thrombus that flows into the brain, blocking the distal cerebral artery and leading to embolic events, which can lead to hemiplegia, aphasia and other symptoms in severe cases.

It is recommended to have regular physical examinations and regular physical examinations to control the progression of the disease.

Current techniques for evaluating vascular wall imaging include color Doppler ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and PET, PET CT, and PET MR. In addition to assessing the narrowing of the lumen, the latest vascular wall imaging technology can also analyze the morphology and composition of plaques, so as to distinguish the stability of plaques, and then achieve early diagnosis, **, and prevent the occurrence of neurological adverse events such as stroke.

As we age, there will be a certain degree of arteriosclerosis, and the key is to look at the degree of arteriosclerosis. If there are factors that aggravate arteriosclerosis such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, etc., it is necessary to actively develop the primary disease, usually eat a low-salt and low-fat diet, eat high-protein and nutritious food, eat foods rich in vitamins and minerals, and exercise appropriately. It is recommended to go to a regular professional hospital**, follow the guidance of a professional doctor, and treat the symptoms**.
