Can aortic wall calcification be cured, and how is aortic calcification treated

Calcification of the aortic wall is a sign of arteriosclerosis and is incapacitated. If the patient has high blood pressure or diabetes. It is recommended to go to the internal medicine department and Western medicine of a regular hospital to do relevant examinations, clarify **, and treat the disease. Do not go to the doctor if you are sick, so as not to delay the disease. Don't take the medicine casually.

Calcification of the aortic wall is not required**.

I hope you find the above reply helpful.

Aortic calcification refers to the deposition of calcium on the wall of the aorta, and this erroneous calcium deposition is the basis for the formation of arterial vascular calcification. Aortic valve calcification can be a congenital aortic valve lesion that may be asymptomatic in early childhood. However, aortic calcification occurs in the age group above middle age, and the choice is ** or not according to the degree of calcification.

Generally, when the degree of aortic calcification is mild, you can choose to change your lifestyle and diet to prevent aggravation of calcification, if the calcification is more severe, if you want to combine drugs and clinical intervention to solve the problem, you should make a plan according to the actual situation and the doctor's experience. If you have any questions, you can come to the Chinese Academy of Sciences for treatment, address the intersection of Sixian Road, Shapingba University Town.

Aortic valve calcification is a congenital aortic valve lesion that may be asymptomatic in early childhood. Common symptoms of general aortic valve disease are postexertional palpitations, shortness of breath, and angina. In cases of severe aortic stenosis or aortic regurgitation, angina pectoris is particularly severe due to severe inadequate blood supply to the coronary arteries.

Congenital aortic valve malformations can be operated on until the child is older if there are no obvious clinical symptoms in early childhood. In cases of congenital aortic valve prolapse, aortic valve suspension may be performed when repairing a high ventricular septal defect or a Wasley sinus aneurysm. Mild to moderate aortic stenosis or regurgitation in adults may also be deferred until clinical symptoms develop.

However, if the patient needs mitral valve surgery due to the presence of severe mitral valve disease**, correction of the aortic valve lesion should be considered at the same time. Otherwise, after the correction of mitral valve lesion, the left ventricle will increase the amount of blood discharged into the aorta, and the hemodynamic changes caused by the aortic valve lesion will inevitably be aggravated, so that the left ventricle will be overloaded, and left heart failure will occur after surgery. Therefore, in rheumatic heart disease, patients with mitral valve and aortic valve double valve lesions, the surgical plan should be considered in combination with the two valve lesions.

In cases of aortic stenosis and regurgitation, the most dangerous symptoms are angina pectoris and syncope. These two symptoms are manifestations of myocardial ischemia and cerebral ischemia, and patients can have cardiac arrest or ventricular fibrillation at any time, and fall to the ground and die. Therefore, early elective surgery should be performed in cases with a history of angina and/or syncope.

The pressure under which the aortic valve closes is high, even in simple aortic stenosis, often causes significant insufficiency after valvular junction incision, and because severe aortic stenosis often has leaflet thickening and calcified lesions, it is difficult to obtain satisfactory results from junctionotomy or dissection. Therefore, aortic valve disease often requires valve replacement, in which the diseased aortic valve is removed and replaced with an artificial valve. Prosthetic valves placed in the aortic valve have a lower thromboembolism rate than mitral valve replacement due to left ventricular ejection, but if aortic valve replacement is performed with a mechanical valve, lifelong anticoagulation** is still required after surgery**, and anticoagulation** is also required for at least 3 months in patients with bioprosthetic valves.

Regardless of whether it is a mechanical valve or a biological valve, it is advisable to choose a valve with a large opening area and less resistance of the artificial valve.

Question 1: What causes aortic calcification? What to pay attention to?

In general, aortic calcification is caused by aging of the body, decreased elasticity of blood vessels, or damage to the walls of blood vessels. This condition is one of the signs of aging in the human body. According to data, about 20% of people over the age of 60 have aortic calcification.

Therefore, if you have no symptoms of discomfort and are not yet able to tolerate being diagnosed with a disease, don't be too nervous about it. Arterial calcification is also a sign that arteries are hardening. If aortic calcification develops in older people with aortic calcification, aortic stenosis or insufficiency can occur, leading to enlargement of the heart and impaired heart function.

Although aortic calcification is irreversible, one can do something to stop it from developing. You can reduce your diet with high fat intake, eat more vegetables and fruits, exercise appropriately, and take the necessary tests and statins for your specific situation under the guidance of your doctor**.

Question 2: What is arterial calcification and how to prevent it? With the growth of age, many things on the human body will be calcified, and there is no big problem, but different parts have different effects, vertebral artery calcification may lead to insufficient cerebral blood supply, when the blood vessels are widely sclerosis, vascular compensatory function (vasodilation, vascular resistance decrease) is easily destroyed, coupled with various reasons can cause cerebral blood perfusion lack of self-regulation and compensation ability, which may be one of the reasons for the high incidence of vertebrobasilar artery insufficiency in the elderly.

Calcification is also one of the complex lesions of atheromatosis, which often leads to luminal narrowing, and can aggravate stenosis or even form occlusion due to compound lesions. Therefore, once CT shows vertebral artery calcification, it means that the lumen stenosis is very serious, which directly affects the clinical manifestations of the patient.

Question 3: How about cardiac aortic calcification**? Aortic calcification is not a common disease in the elderly, but it is necessary to pay attention to control blood pressure and avoid vascular accidents due to emotional agitation.

Pay attention to the annual ultrasound Chuan** to observe the changes, especially the degree of aortic valve regurgitation. If the patient has symptoms such as fainting, swollen legs, or significant heart enlargement, surgery may be considered.

Arterial calcification is the deposition of calcium in the structure of the artery, resulting in arteriosclerosis, decreased elasticity, and decreased function of blood vessels.

It is mainly manifested as increased stiffness of blood vessel wall and decreased compliance, which can easily lead to myocardial ischemia, left ventricular hypertrophy and heart failure, causing thrombosis and plaque rupture, which is one of the important factors for the high incidence and mortality of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. It is also an important marker of atherosclerotic cardiovascular events, stroke and peripheral vascular disease.

Calcification of the heart's valves, such as the aortic valve, may be due to degenerative changes in old age, or rheumatic changes, or long-standing hemodynamic abnormalities. Calcification of the valve may affect the function of the valve, causing it to narrow or relocate, resulting in a series of abnormal changes. Only the calcification of the aortic valve has not affected the opening and closing of the valve, so it is not important at least for now, and it needs to be rechecked regularly to pay attention to the changes in the condition.

If the coronary arteries are calcified at the beginning, a thorough evaluation of the coronary arteries is required to look for calcifications or stenosis in the middle and distal vessels.

Calcifications can also occur in places such as the wall of the ascending aorta.

Once the valve is calcified, it is impossible to return to its original state, and if there are no symptoms of excessive weight, it can be left untreated, and long-term medication can also be used; However, in the case of moderate regurgitation, surgery should theoretically be done. If symptoms have not progressed significantly since diagnosis, conservative** may be used.

In addition, it cannot be said that it is positive ** but has little effect, and not developing itself is a good effect. What happens if you don't do it? Hardly.

In this case, a cardiac ultrasound should be done to check the condition of the aortic valve, whether the calcification is severe, whether there is regurgitation, whether the left ventricular wall is thickened, etc., and if you have high blood pressure, you should undergo effective blood pressure lowering**.

Calcification is a manifestation of organ aging, which is a natural phenomenon, and it is necessary to place complications, and attention can be paid to the control of blood lipids and blood pressure.
