Arterial plaque is also a vascular disease. Is there any way to prevent it?
Many people may not have heard of carotid plaque. Carotid plaque (carotid plaque) is actually a kind of plaque appearing in human carotid artery, which will do great harm to human body. Because carotid artery is very important to human body. These blood vessels can promote the blood circulation of the brain and contribute to the health of the human brain. If you know that carotid plaque can cause such great harm, how should people prevent it?

Tobacco contains a lot of nicotine. This ingredient will invade some organs of the human body, and frequent smoking is also prone to carotid plaque.

Second, go to the hospital for physical examination regularly.

In the hospital, you can check the physical indicators. Through these indicators, you can know which ones are good and which ones are bad. If you have physical problems, you can receive treatment in time and get better faster. In the final analysis, early illness is better than late illness and can be cured.

What is the risk of carotid plaque?

The risk of carotid plaque is not that part of the carotid artery is blocked after plastic surgery, but the most important risk is unstable carotid plaque. Refers to vascular embolism along the blood flow to organs such as the brain or heart. Moreover, myocardial infarction, stroke and peripheral vascular diseases can all induce diseases such as arteriosclerosis of lower limbs. Research shows that whenever the intima-media thickness of carotid artery exceeds 0. 1mm, the probability of myocardial infarction is higher than that of cerebral hemorrhage 10% ~ 15%, and the probability of cerebral hemorrhage is higher 13% ~ 18%. In particular, the echo soft plaque found by ultrasound belongs to unstable plaque and is more likely to cause cerebral hemorrhage.
