What are the dangers of carotid plaque to the body?

It may cause insufficient blood supply to the brain, resulting in corresponding symptoms: dizziness and fatigue; In severe cases, it will cause ischemic stroke, which is often heard in daily life, and the specific symptoms depend on the location of the cerebral infarction. Therefore, attention should be paid to the gradually increasing carotid plaque.

Cerebral ischemia. Carotid plaque will lead to ischemia in the human brain, many people will have dizziness, tinnitus, blurred vision, headache, insomnia, memory loss, drowsiness and other symptoms, personal work efficiency will decline, we must pay special attention, to take medication as soon as possible, otherwise the condition will become more and more serious in the later stage, and even lead to complications such as cerebral hemorrhage in the human body.

The biggest danger of carotid plaque is ischemic stroke, which includes cerebral infarction or cerebral thrombosis. First of all, it causes cerebral thrombosis, mainly because of the fear of plaque falling. Once the plaque falls, the emboli enters the brain with the blood flow, and gradually approaches the thin branches, once blocked, then the end will produce avascular necrosis, thus forming a state of cerebral thrombosis, which will cause dizziness, hemiplegia, aphasia, limb numbness, weakness and so on.

Abnormal detachment of carotid plaque can lead to myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction caused by blocked blood vessels, and more care is required. It is manifested as vascular plaque that is prone to sudden detachment, causing sudden events; Because at this time, the main component of vascular plaque is lipid streaks, the texture is soft, there are flocculent or uneven on the surface of the plaque, and the bottom of the vascular plaque is loosely combined with the vascular wall, and the wall attachment coefficient is low, which is easy to cause partial damage and shedding of vascular plaque or overall shedding of vascular plaque under the impact of blood flow, forming a mobile vascular embolus, partially or completely blocking the vascular blood vessels, resulting in sudden ischemia, hypoxia, loss of function and even life-threatening tissues and organs in the corresponding parts, which is more serious and typical.

Some middle-aged and elderly people have carotid plaque, in fact, it is very common, if you want to judge whether the risk of carotid plaque is large, you still need to look at the size of the carotid plaque, the size of the plaque will directly determine whether the carotid plaque has a great impact on the carotid artery blood flow, if it is too large, the risk will be greater, if it is smaller, it will not bring much harm to the human body. When the carotid plaque grows to a certain extent, it will affect the blood circulation, once the blood is blocked, the blood can not flow normally to the heart and brain, it will produce cardiac and cerebral ischemia, such as stroke, myocardial infarction and other serious conditions may affect the safety of people's lives. At the same time, it may also cause coronary heart disease, hyperlipidemia and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Control your calorie intake.

It is necessary to control the calorie intake in the diet, because the intake of too many calories will have a certain impact on cardiovascular risk. Therefore, we should learn to control the diet, focus on light diet and easy-to-digest food, ensure adequate intake of various nutrients, eat more fresh vegetables, fruits and whole grains, etc., eat less high-fat and high-cholesterol foods, such as fatty meat, animal liver, and reduce salt and sugar to avoid being too obese.

Scientific medication. In addition to dietary interventions, medication is also very important. Because high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes are all important factors leading to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques, so if you suffer from these diseases, you must actively cooperate with the doctor's **, to take drugs to reasonably control blood lipids, blood pressure and blood sugar, and do not stop taking drugs at will.

Finally, there are many reasons for the formation of carotid plaque, if the blood is too viscous, it will lead to plaque sclerosis, resulting in arterial blockage, and some are because of perennial smoking and drinking, so if there is such a bad habit, it is necessary to quit as soon as possible.

The hazards of carotid plaque are related to the nature, location, and shape of the plaque. Among them, the main hazard is ischemic stroke, which is more common in patients with unstable plaques. Unstable plaque, also known as soft plaque and fragile plaque, is irregular in shape and easy to fall off, and can block the cerebral blood vessels with blood flow after falling off, causing ischemic stroke, resulting in symptoms such as hemiplegia, aphasia, crooked eyes and slanted mouth.

In patients with stable plaques, the plaques are calcified, firm, and not easy to fall off and rupture, so they are not easy to cause cerebral vascular embolism or corresponding symptoms.

This may result in carotid artery dysfunction, which affects normal chewing and can also affect normal digestion, leading to a decrease in appetite. It can also lead to cancer. The health effects are particularly negative, which may cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and may also lead to cerebral infarction.

It is particularly easy to cause insufficient blood supply to the brain, which will hurt people's intelligence and language system, cause thrombosis or blood vessel blockage, easily lead to hemiplegia or hemiplegia, and may also cause sudden cerebral death. It can also cause cerebral infarction or myocardial infarction.

In order to prevent the occurrence of these diseases, we should actively restrain some of our own eating habits in our lives, eat less high-calorie foods, and choose light tastes。Participate in sports regularly, quit the bad habit of smoking and drinking, and choose to go to the hospital regularly or measure your blood pressure, blood lipids, and blood sugar at home. When you feel unwell, you must go to the hospital immediately to receive a doctor's examination and actively cooperate**.

Carotid plaque is generally more common in the elderly, especially patients with underlying diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia. The degree of risk of carotid plaque depends on its size and nature, and if it is large, it can lead to carotid artery narrowing, affect the blood supply to the brain, and cause cerebral ischemia. If it is a soft plaque, it is easy to fall off and can cause cerebral infarction.

Carotid plaque is very dangerous and can be life-threatening in severe cases. Carotid plaque has damage to the body such as eyelid xanthoma, earlobe folds, decreased force, tinnitus, and vertigo.

Carotid plaque is risky, and the risk is related to whether it is a fragile plaque, and if the patient's carotid plaque causes carotid artery occlusion, it will affect the blood supply to the brain.

It's useless to say that. I'm more worried than anyone because it will cost a lot of money and it will cost a lot of money. But I said it was useless, so I had to seize power, and I had to find my sister. I took it into account in every way. So the problem that is solved now is.

First, the school thing, the brain-controlled thing.

Second, the issue of the distribution of money, including contracts, and the issue of pensions. There is also the issue of the allocation of the house.

Problems with the physical examination.

Let's talk about these issues. This decision was made on the basis of considering the psychology and perception of the family.

No one knows my family better than I do.

Is carotid plaque dangerous? What is its harm to the body? With age, the body's vascular metabolism gradually weakens.

In real life, many middle-aged and elderly people will find carotid plaque during physical examination, which refers to a layer of lipid deposits on the artery wall, forming plaque. Unstable plaques are considered a red flag by many people. So, are unstable plaques that scary?

<> carotid plaque is indeed a warning sign from the body. The carotid artery is the most visible signal of hardening of the arteries in the body, and it is also the most susceptible to it. When the carotid arteries become clogged and blood cannot reach the brain, blindness, aphasia, paralysis, stroke, and even death can occur.

However, as long as carotid plaque is detected early and does not affect circulation, there is no need to worry too much.

In general, plaque needs to be aggressive if it causes narrowing of more than half of the blood vessels, or mild narrowing of unstable plaque. At present, the ** of carotid plaque mainly includes surgery and drugs to control the development of plaque through antiplatelet and lipid-regulating drugs. If the plaque grows enough to affect blood flow to the brain, surgery**, including endarterectomy and stenting**, is required.

How to Prevent Arterial Unstable Plaque? It is necessary to pay attention to the combination of work and rest to maintain the best mental state, therefore, to learn to avoid excessive mental tension and avoid unnecessary troubles and anxiety. Daily life should be regular, maintain the brain's thinking ability, and at the same time avoid overusing the brain.

In terms of diet, it is necessary to pay great attention to the intake of fat, do not consume too much animal fat, and it is better not to eat fatty meat and lard. Of course, you can eat more soybean oil, as it is rich in linoleic acid and fat-soluble vitamins. These elements play a role in preventing unstable plaque in the arteries.

To participate in a moderate amount of physical exercise and physical activity, a certain amount of exercise can help improve blood circulation, enhance physical fitness, and prevent the occurrence of unstable plaques in the arteries.

Whether carotid plaque is dangerous or not depends on the size and characteristics of the plaque. If the plaque is large, it is easy to block the blood vessels and affect the blood supply to the brain. On the other hand, if there is an ulcer on the surface of the plaque, it is necessary to prevent thrombosis from inducing stroke.

The degree of risk of carotid plaque depends mainly on the size and characteristics of the plaque; If the plaque is relatively large, the more serious the blockage of the blood vessels, the greater the risk of cerebral ischemia, if there is still decay on the surface, cerebral thrombosis may be formed, hemiplegia, blindness, crooked mouth, unclear speech, severe will cause cerebral infarction.

This one is uncertain. Whether it is dangerous or not depends on the size and characteristics of the plaque. If the plaque is particularly large, it will lead to blockage of blood vessels, and then it will affect the blood flow, which will be more dangerous, very easy to cerebral hemorrhage, and easy to cause heart disease.

Carotid plaque is very dangerous; It makes the blood flow poor, leading to diabetes, high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, cerebral infarction, cerebral thrombosis, etc.

Carotid plaque is very dangerous; Carotid plaque can lead to a decrease in the level of metabolism in the body, poor blood circulation, cerebral infarction, slow movement, and even paralysis.

Carotid plaque is very dangerous; It will cause great damage to the body, and symptoms such as dizziness, headache, nausea, weakness, loss of appetite, and palpitation will occur.

It's dangerous. If you suffer from this condition, it is likely to cause blood flow to be blocked. Erythema will appear on the face. Breathing will be difficult.

The blood vessels of the human body are like roads on the earth, responsible for transporting nutrients and metabolites to all parts of the body, and all blood vessels also have a certain service life, and the best service life of human blood vessels is about 40-50 yearsAs we age, just like a highway, blood vessels are constantly aging, which is called atherosclerosis.

The degree of carotid plaque is actually directly proportional to cerebral atherosclerosis, the carotid artery is a large blood vessel in the human body, and the coronary artery and cerebral blood vessel of the heart are relatively thinnerMore likely to form atherosclerotic plaques; The harm of carotid plaque to the human body mainly depends on the nature of the plaque and the degree of stenosis caused.

In general, the surface of the plaque is covered with a fibrous cap to protect the plaque. And unstable plaques in situations of emotional agitation, strenuous exercise, alcoholism, cold, etcThis can cause an increase in blood pressure, a rush in blood flow, or a spasm of blood vessels, at which point the fiber cap will ruptureLipids and other substances in the plaque gush out, causing the aggregation of red blood cells and platelets, forming a blood clot, and if the cerebral blood vessels are blocked, it will cause acute cerebral infarction.

The presence of carotid atherosclerosis can lead to carotid artery stenosis and plaque formation, which may be asymptomatic if carotid artery stenosis is mild or if plaque is small and plaque is stable; However, symptoms can occur if the carotid artery is narrowed, plaque is large, or unstable.

If the carotid plaque is unstable, plaque rupture and bleeding may occur, and the substances in the plaque exposed to the blood can easily induce platelet aggregation, form thrombus and block the cerebral arteryResulting in acute cerebral infarction, patients may have symptoms such as headache, vomiting, impaired consciousness, hemiplegia, hemianopia, and aphasia, which not only has a high mortality rate, but also a high disability rateIt is a cerebrovascular disease that needs to be prevented in middle-aged and elderly people, so all patients with unstable plaques should be given statins to stabilize plaques.

According to the echo characteristics of plaques under color ultrasound, the carotid artery can be divided into stable plaques and unstable plaques, among which stable plaques are mainly calcified hard plaques, which are not easy to ruptureThe prognosis is relatively high.

Carotid atherosclerosis can also cause narrowing of the arteries, and when they are 50% narrow, people have few symptoms。However, when the stenosis exceeds 50%, there may be insufficient blood supply to the brain, such as dizziness, headache, memory loss, etc. Once the stenosis exceeds 70%, surgery is often an optionThe more common procedures include internal carotid artery decortication and carotid artery stenting.

Whether the carotid plaque is stable or unstable depends on the description on the ultrasound reportIf it is a hypoechoic plaque, it is considered that this plaque is an unstable plaque, and the plaque is easy to rupture, and some small plaques or thrombis flow to the cerebral arteries with the blood, causing local blood vessel blockage and acute cerebral infarction. If it is a strong echogenic plaque,The plaque is considered to be a stable plaque that is not easy to rupture, and the risk of cerebral infarction is small.

If the plaque is relatively large and affects the blood supply to the brain, it needs to be active**, and a stent can be implanted locally to solve ischemiaIn the later stage, it is necessary to take medication for a long time and maintain a healthy lifestyle to avoid recurrence of problems. If the plaque is unstable, statins should be actively given to stabilize the plaque** to avoid plaque rupture and thrombosis, which may cause cerebral infarction.
