    When we find carotid plaque, it should be treated differently, and the risk factors, stenosis, and plaque stability of the plaque should be clinically examined by the doctor to determine whether to use drugs**! The most basic should be determined according to the specific situation of the patient, primary prevention, that is, the person who did not get sick before the prevention, secondary prevention, that is, the disease after the prevention is different in nature, and the secondary prevention is not controversial, lifelong medication.

    Primary prevention depends on your specific situation, you should start with more than three drug interventions for risk factors, not too many risk factors, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, alcohol consumption, family high risk, male, 45-year-old female menopause, such as obesity, unstable angina pectoris, and transient ischemic attack, such as lifestyle modifications, management of blood pressure, blood lipids, and blood sugar, quit smoking, alcohol, and **, eat more fresh vegetables, eat less pickled barbecue and smoked foods, Control the intake of meat, especially animal offal, salt and sugar intake, etc., and adjust strategies in time if abnormal conditions are found in regular inspections. The carotid artery supplies blood to the front of the brain and, if blocked, can lead to stroke and other risk factors.

    Carotid atherosclerotic plaques are a manifestation of carotid atherosclerosis that can cause transient ischemic attacks. Common clinical symptoms include unilateral limb sensory or motor impairment, aphasia, and in severe cases, coma. Common risk factors for carotid plaque:

    How unstable plaques spontaneously erode, rupture, or rupture, the danger of causing acute thrombosis and occlusion or infarction long before unstable narrow plaques form, most events originate from unstable plaques, and unstable plaques on angiography do not look serious.

    Atherosclerotic plaques can be stable or unstable. The most commonly used is carotid ultrasound, which is based on the echo signature within the plaque. Plaques are classified into homogeneous hypoechoic, mesoechoic, hyperechoic, and inhomogeneous echogenic.

    Vulnerable plaques are predominantly hypoechogenic, and asymptomatic plaques are predominantly hyperechoic and inhomogeneous. /n/n

    Carotid plaque.

    Refers to the presence of plaque in the lumen of the carotid artery, which attaches to the wall of the carotid artery, causing the lumen to narrow the disease. Plaque is mostly made up of lipids in the blood vessels.

    The result of deposition is called carotid atherosclerosis plaque. However, a small number of patients are also caused by blood clots and cancer thrombosis, which fall off. When carotid plaque is first discovered, it should be paid attention to, because plaque can lead to a decrease in intracranial blood flow** and further aggravation, causing manifestations of intracranial ischemia and hypoxia, and headache.

    Dizziness and other neurological symptoms.

    Nowadays, many factors can lead to carotid plaque, such as high blood pressure, smoking, etc., it is more important to know what is going on, and I will briefly share it with you below.

    1.First of all, carotid plaque is mainly affected by the elderly, and carotid plaque is actually one of the conditions of carotid arteriosclerosis. Slippery pants at the bifurcation of the common carotid artery are often susceptible to this disease.

    2.Secondly, the mechanism of ischemic stroke may be: intracranial hypoperfusion caused by plaque enlargement and carotid artery diameter narrowing and plaque detachment forming embolism, resulting in intracranial artery embolism.

    3.Finally, the degree of carotid artery stenosis and the morphological book of plaques can be used to determine the severity of the disease. A certain evaluation of our carotid plaques.

    Precautions. If you have carotid plaque, reduce your salt and fat intake and exercise more to improve your resistance in your daily life.

    What are the criteria for judging the size of carotid plaques? Try the Life Photokinesis.

    The criterion for judging the size of carotid plaque is not how long the plaque is, but how thick the plaque is, and the rate of carotid artery stenosis it causes. The criterion for determining whether carotid plaque requires aggressive surgery** is mainly based on the degree of carotid artery stenosis. There are two scenarios in which a stent or carotid endarterectomy is required as per the current guidelines.

    In the first case, if the carotid plaque causes the arterial lumen stenosis rate of more than 50%, and it is accompanied by dizziness, blackness in front of the eyes, transient loss of consciousness and other manifestations.

    In the second case, the carotid artery is stenosis of more than 70%, even if there are no neurological symptoms, it is very critical!

    There are *** drugs, which treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and they have to be taken for life, and it is easy. The use of laser, green, safe, non-invasive "phototherapy" to provide cardiovascular and cerebrovascular patients with a comprehensive, safe and efficient way!

    The gospel of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular patients is here - the life photodynamic instrument of Kang Zhi Brain Health!

    Life photodynamic instrument provides comprehensive safety for global human health in a non-drug, non-invasive, green, safe, and non-invasive "phototherapy" way, and is a national second-class medical device. Green high-tech specially developed for people with three highs of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases! It has a very significant effect on hyperlipidemia, hypertension, hyperglycemia, high blood viscosity, neck plaque, palpitations, insomnia, angina, cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, ischemic stroke, coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction and other diseases.

    The 650 nanometer weak laser illuminated by the life photodynamic instrument is exactly the same as the energy wavelength in the metabolism process of human cells, which is recognized as the world's best band of the human body. It can charge and charge human cells (often called photobiological effects or photobiochemical effects). Although the 650 nanometer laser has low energy, it acts as a "trigger", which can mobilize the conformational and functional changes of cell tissue.

    When normal red blood cells are wrapped in excess fat, the original normal red blood cells lose their deformation and oxygen-carrying function, affecting the normal delivery of oxygen, resulting in hypoxia of human organs and cells. The diode laser instrument uses a low-intensity laser with a wavelength of 650 nanometers to inject monochromatic low-energy light into the blood through irradiation, and finally achieves the functions of reducing blood viscosity, purifying blood, ablating plaques, removing blood clots, regulating blood pressure, blood lipids, and blood sugar metabolism, and finally effectively reducing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

    Kangzhi Brain Health's Life Photodynamic Instrument Neck Laser ** Instrument is an intelligent instrument, which is easy to use and widely trusted by middle-aged and elderly people. I have been recommended by patients to friends and relatives many times, and the reputation is very good! It's better to take action than to move, hurry up to understand the life photodynamic instrument of Kangzhi Brain Health, and you will have unexpected gains.

    Life photodynamic instrument guards thousands of families!

    Carotid plaque is like oil stains in the kitchen drain, which over time can lead to narrowing and blockage of the drain, so when the carotid artery plaque is narrowed, the blood supply to the brain is insufficient, and the second is that it falls off, and a blood clot forms and causes a stroke, causing hemiplegia and even life-threatening.

    Hello, how big is your carotid plaque, if it is small, it is mainly to prevent plaque shedding, you can take some hypolipidemic drugs and blood stasis drugs to stabilize the plaque**, if it is large, you can consider minimally invasive or interventional surgery for plaque decortication or embolectomy, etc.**, and take some antiplatelet drugs orally for a long time** to prevent the further development of plaque.

Stabilize the plaque, like a piece of oil with the hardness of rubber or even the hardness of a stone, Plavix, not to mention taking medicine to remove, soaked in the medicine can not melt, fat-regulating statin drugs, but if you want to completely subside, don't think about it. I have removed the plaque during the operation, and recently studies have shown that some statins can reverse the plaque, and it is good to stabilize the plaque without cerebral infarction.

First, the consequences of severe disease change are not the same. Generally, the production of carotid plaque is also caused by carotid atherosclerosis, but the phenomenon of this type of carotid plaque has not caused the carotid artery to change in narrowing. The carotid artery stenosis is usually a serious change in carotid atherosclerosis, which causes the carotid artery to become narrow. >>>More

Carotid plaques are formed due to the deposition of too many lipids in the blood in the carotid lining of the arteries. If carotid plaque is left unattended, the carotid plaque will gradually enlarge and cause the artery elasticity to weaken. Carotid arteriosclerosis occurs, and in severe cases, it will cause stenosis or occlusion of the carotid artery. >>>More
