One of the most common diseases - atherosclerosis most often occurs in the elderly, but recently this pathology has become the lot of the young.
Atherosclerosis predominantly affects men. Representatives of the stronger sex are more often women 3-4 times. Interestingly, residents of modern megacities are more familiar with this disease than residents of "natural areas".
How is atherosclerosis manifested?
The disease is characterized by a change in the walls of the arterial vessels, their compaction and deprivation of elasticity. The main factors affecting the occurrence of atherosclerosis are frequent stress, neurosis, eating food of animal origin, the lack of an active lifestyle and heredity.
The main cause of the disease is excess cholesterol, which is deposited on the walls of the arteries. He is the source of plaque, which reduces the lumen of the artery walls and reduces blood flow.
Lack of normal blood flow, in turn, leads to oxygen starvation of tissues and organs. Ultimately, disorders can lead to heart attack and stroke.
There are some types of atherosclerosis, which are classified according to where the vessels are affected.
Symptoms of the disease are different:
• noise in ears
• dizziness
• weakened memory
• heartache
• pain in the legs, lower back
The diagnosis is made by a specialist, based on the results of a blood test, ECG, X-ray angiography, echocardiography and coronary angiography, vascular ultrasound, MRI.
As additional measures, simple time-tested recipes can be applied to the main therapy.
