What should I do?Doctor: Do 3 points to reduce or subscribe with plaques!

Many human body tests are found "cervical plaques", and "carotid plaques" will cause the risk of "embolism" once it falls off.

Some people even say that the ultimate home of "carotid artery plaques" is "cerebral infarction". Because the carotid artery provides blood to our head, it is one of the most blood supply systems with blood supply. If the carotid artery is blocked, it will easily cause cardiovascular disease, such as cerebral infarction and stroke. Will it really be like this?

Found carotid artery plaques

Not far from the cerebral infarction?

Zhengdong Hospital of Zhengzhou University's First Affiliated Hospital, Deputy Chief Physician Faculty of Radi -intervention Division of the Department of Radi -intervention in June 2022, published a real case in his hundred family numbers:

Late at night, Mr. Zhang (chemical), who was unconscious, was taken to the hospital by the ambulance. After CT examination, Mr. Zhang's neck artery was severe, and blood flow occurred, which caused acute cerebral infarction. Fortunately, rescue was timely. After rescue, Mr. Zhang was out of the risk of death, but he also settled the sequelae of paralysis.

Mr. Zhang often smokes and drinks, does not add control, and often stays up late. Two years ago, I often felt dizzy and dazzled to the hospital for examination. After the ultrasound examination, I found the reason.

It turned out that Mr. Zhang was detected two years ago that the carotid arteriosa were sclerosis and had plaques, and the carotid artery was mild. After the doctor told, Mr. Zhang felt that as long as he took medicine on time, it was no problem to pay attention to controlling blood pressure. He still continued his bad habits. As a result, the symptoms of cervical artery plaques did not decrease and increase, and the neck arteries were severe, which would lead to sudden cerebral infarction.

Check the cervical plaque

What should I do?

It is common for the disease to detect the disease of the cervical plaque. With the improvement of living standards, the disease of the carotid plaque is gradually younger.

Zhengdong University First Affiliated Hospital Zhengdong Hospital Deputy Chief Physician Faculty Faculty in June 2022 was introduced in his hundred family journals. Paef is not far from the severe disease of the cerebral infarction.

After checking the cervical artery plaques, first of all, further inspection of the plaque should be performed. One is to check the stability of the plaque, and the other is to observe whether the carotid artery is stenosis due to the plaque. The risk of cervical artery plaques.

If the plaques are relatively stable, because it causes the possibility of cerebral infarction; and even if the arterial stenosis is caused by stability, the stenosis is less than 50%, it will generally not compare the blood supply to the brain to produce blood supply to blood supply to the blood supply. Great impact. Therefore, if your own carotid patches are relatively stable, as long as the arteriosclerosis is controlled, it will generally not cause danger and no need to take emergency treatment.

However, if the cervical stenosis caused by plaques exceeds 50 %, its risk will increase accordingly. In addition, unstable plaques also have risks such as falling off and rupture. If thrombosis is caused by the movement of the plaque, and the thrombus falls off, the blood vessels in the brain may cause short -term cerebral ischemia or cause ischemic cerebral infarction.

Doing 3 points can reduce or fade back!

Can the cervical arterial plaques be reduced or faded?

Guo Yifang, deputy dean of the Hebei Provincial People's Hospital and director of the Department of Cardiology, said in June 2022 on the WeChat public account of "Guo Yifang Heart" WeChat public account. The first point, the most important point is to reduce the level of cholesterol. I have repeatedly emphasized that cholesterol is the main raw material for the formation of arterial plaques. Without cholesterol, there is no arterial plaques, and it is difficult to occur with motility pulse sclerosis cardiovascular disease (such as myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction). Effectively reduce the level of cholesterol and can prevent or delay the occurrence of plaques. If cholesterol is reduced enough and the level is low enough, the plaques that have formed may be completely reduced or even disappeared.

First, in order to achieve reduction or reversal of plaques, we must first change bad living habits, that is, controlling diet, improving diet structure, increasing exercise, weight loss, and quitting of alcohol. ;;

Second, if you have hypertension or diabetes, you should also actively control blood pressure and blood sugar. Hypertension and diabetes are important factor that causes atherosclerotic hardened plaques. Patients with hypertension should control blood pressure below 140/90 mm Hg. If they are tolerated, they can be reduced to less than 130/80 mm Hg. Patients with diabetes should control blood glucose under the guidance of a doctor;

Third, apply statins for treatment. He can inhibit cholesterol synthesis, reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood, and prevent the growth of plaques. The lower the level of cholesterol in the blood, the less likely to increase the plaques. When cholesterol is low to a certain extent, the plaques of some patients can be reduced. However, not all people who have cervical plaques need to apply statins. If the plaques are large and the carotid artery has significantly stenosis (more than 50%of the blood vessels are blocked), he should be treated in time. If there is no obvious narrowing of the carotid arteries or only a mild stenosis occurs, it is necessary to determine whether he needs to treat his specific conditions, especially cholesterol levels, especially the specific situation of each person. It is wrong to take the doctor's guidance and take medicine on their own.
