Aunt Liu this year is 65 years old. He repeatedly sent a doctor for a vision by his family because of repeated , and angina pectoris was diagnosed with coronary heart disease.The blood vessels are found to have severe and mild narrowing under the heart radiography, and the heart bracket needs to be implanted in time, otherwise it may induce myocardial infarction.
Aunt is doubtful, but the family constantly encourages him to cooperate with treatment. After the operation, Aunt Liu was discharged soon.
Last week, when she returned to the hospital, she found that the original narrow blood vessels became unobstructed, and even the blood vessel plaques in the mild narrowing were almost disappeared!What is going on?Can plaques disappear?
I. After this age, the cervical artery plaques will find you!
The cervical plaque is formed by fat, , calcium, etc.It is a reason that it is easy to have scale after it grows. When the scale accumulates to a certain degree, it will cause normal water flow to be affected.
The emergence of arterial plaques is related to lifestyle, genetics, etc. , such as long -term diet high fat, high salt or lack of exercise, may promote plaquesgenerate.Inheritance means that the family in the family has a related history, so your risk of suffering from this disease will be higher than that of ordinary people, and it is more likely to have carotid plaques.
The data shows that About 200 million patients in China in my country , the detection rate of people over 40 years old is as high as 40%; age & gt At the age of 45, patients with strokes and short -term brain ischemia have reached nearly 80%; Age & GT; 60 -year -old people have plaques in the human body .
If you do not pay attention to prevention and control, Cervical arteries will gradually become larger , leading to vascular stenosis, blockage, blood bloodIt is impossible to pass through the neck and cause ischemia and hypoxia, or even necrosis. Once the degree of cervical hypotonia & gt; 50%, it will cause hypoxia and hypoxia in the brain tissue, cause symptoms such as dizziness and headache.
In addition, once Once the plaques fall off and rupture , the cerebral vascular occlusion will be acute, resulting in acute hemiplegia, dismissal and other symptoms.life.
So how can we judge whether there are plaques in the blood vessels?
Some people think that judging whether the carotid artery can be touched through the hand to touch the feeling. This method is very insignificant!Because the cervical artery may be touched by the nodules.To judge whether there are plaques in the carotid artery, you need to conduct professional medical examination projects. Ultrasonic examination is a more recommended , which has the characteristics of non -invasive, low cost and simple operation.
2. "Cervical Passion" once it is formed, can it disappear?
In general, the plaque will not disappear after the appearance of the plaque, and it will gradually increase as the age increases.However, studies have found that long-term strict control Cardiovascular risk factors such as cholesterol can reduce atherosclerotic plaques, but still cannot completely disappear.
However, a research published in "JACC" exposes the possibility of atherosclerotic sclerosis plaques!
Researchers conducted a 6 -year follow -up of 3471 people aged 40 to 55.The hardening situation is regularly determined, and the factors that induce plaque development are evaluated and analyzed.
The results found that 32.7%of the subjects in the process made progress, and the overall accumulation increased by more than 100%.Surprisingly, 8%of all the subjects have disappeared completely !
Further analysis found that High -risk groups of arteriosclerosis are male, elderly, and smokers.High problem .
In response, the researchers show that to affect the development of arterial plaques, these 4 factors are the key:
1. Early intervention
Age is one of the main causes of arteriosclerosis, but this factor is uncontrollable.What we can do is intervene as soon as possible, and began to avoid contact with some risk factors that are easy to induce motor arteriosclerosis during the middle and young people.
2. Reduce LDL-C level
Research pointed outThe level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is one of the main factors that cause plaque formation, so it must be strictly controlled. For mild patients, the LDL-C level should be controlled below 2.6mmol/L; for severe patients, it should be controlled below 1.8 mmol/L.
3. Control the level of systolic blood pressure
The systolic blood pressure is high pressure. Under normal circumstances, it should beKeeping at 90 ~ 140mmHg, excessive blood pressure can easily impact the blood vessel wall, causing endothelial damage to accelerate the production of plaques. It is generally recommended to control the level of systolic blood pressure below 120mmHg .
4. No smoking
In addition to smoking, it will hurt the lungs, but also the independent risk of cardiovascular diseasefactor.The harmful substances in tobacco will cause damage to the vessel endothelium. When the LDL-C genes oxidize reactions, it enters the endometrium along the injured endothelial to form plaques.
3. Do you want to eat statins as long as there are "cervical artery plaques"?
Biting drugs are common drugs for patients with cardiovascular disease, which can play a role in lowering blood lipids, stabilizing plaques, and preventing thrombosis.People who need to take it?
The answer is no. Whether you need to take statins should be dependent on the situation.
• Sifiles & GT; 50%: This kind of patients need to take statins for treatment, whetherControl LDL-C levels below 1.8 mmol/L.
• Sifiles & lt; 50%: This kind of patients need to evaluate risk, if there are /Stroke StrokeHistory, diabetes, hypertension, diabetes and LDL-C level & gt; 2.6 mmol/L, chronic kidney disease and LDL-C level & gt; 2.6 mmol/L, smoking and other cardiovascular disease risk factors and LDL-C levels & gt; 3.4Patients with any conditional MMOL/L need to take statins.
These two changes appear after taking the medicine, indicating that the drug treatment is effective!
• Parats are significantly reduced: The plaque volume reduces or disappears after treatment, indicating that the disease has undergone "reversal".However, it is still necessary to maintain good living habits and take medicine to follow the doctors advice, otherwise the plaques will generate again.
• Solid Spot: That is to stabilize the fixing spot, indicating that the composition inside the arterial plaque has changed, the risk of rupture and erosion of plaque is a decline in the risk of erosion.Very benign change.In simple terms, the plaques have changed from an unstable state to a relatively stable state, which has greatly improved security.
Cervical arterial plaques are very common in middle-aged and elderly people. You do n’t need to be too scared.Good living habits can inhibit the development of plaques well.
