Atherosclerosis, arteriosclerosis, atherosclerosis, don’t be stupid anymore, you don’t know if you don’t know.

A few days ago, an elderly patient asked that his high pressure (systolic blood) was 170mmHg and low pressure (diastolic pressure) 60mmHg. What about cardiovascular disease?

The doctor told him that only atherosclerotic talents need to take statins and aspirin, and people with arteriosclerosis do not need to eat.

Two words that sound similar to arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis are not the same thing.

Arteriosclerosis is changes in vascular aging

Arteriosclerosis refers to the process of aging of arterial vascular wall, which is a normal physiological phenomenon.

As the age increases, fiber in the arterial wall changes, and the arterial wall is thickened, hard -hard, and lost elasticity.

The occurrence of arteriosclerosis is mainly related to aging. With age, the main consequence is to cause hypertension.

Hypertension can accelerate the process of arteriosclerosis, because excessive blood pressure will apply excessive pressure to the arteries, accelerate the elastic degradation of the arteries, that is, hypertension and arteriosclerosis are causal and form a vicious cycle.

Atherosclerosis is an endometrial injury

Atherosclerosis refers to the endometrial damage under factors such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, smoking, obesity and other factors.

Due to vascular endothelial damage, subsequent lipid deposition, macrophages, and foam cell formation, and the core of formation of atherosclerotic plaque under the action of inflammatory factors.

After these changes occur in the arterial wall, it will cause significant narrowing of the vascular cavity. When the plaque is ruptured, thrombosis will be formed.

Atherosclerosis is the main cause of cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction, and measures need to be treated in time.

The treatment of the two is different

Hypertension and aging are factors that are closely related to arteriosclerosis. We cannot avoid aging, but we can control blood pressure and delay the process of arteriosclerosis.

In addition to controlling the "three highs" of atherosclerosis, the treatment of atherosclerosis should be used to control good health habits, quit smoking and drinking, go to bed early and get up early, and then use Hisine drugs to resist the atherosclerosis.

For unstable plaques, aspirin needs to inhibit platelet aggregation, avoid thrombosis, and effectively prevent the occurrence of diseases such as myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction.

There is a essential difference between arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis. We cannot prevent arteriosclerosis, because it is a natural physiological process, but atherosclerosis, we can effectively prevent the regular prevention of taking medicine by changing the habits of lifestyle, regularly obeying the medicine for medicine to take medicine, Essence
