Atherosclerosis of blood vessels is a chronic disease, in which case atherosclerotic shields are gradually being formed on the internal surface of the arteries, narrowing the blood of the bloodstream and disrupting the blood flow. SM-Clinic Cardiologist Anastasia Fomiceva told "Gazeta.ru" about the first signs of the disease.
According to him, atherosclerosis often develops in a multi-year-end, while already affecting several groups of arteries.
"Atherosclerosis is not sorry, but at the same time decomposes the body unnoticed. It develops slowly and often remains unnoticed until serious complications, "the specialist warned.
The doctor noted that the symptoms directly depend on which vessels were affected. If the crown pulse is dismissed, a person can feel pain or inconvenience in the chest, breathing difficulty and decrease. If the vessels of the neck are dismissed, dizziness, headaches and a ringing of ears arise. Atherosclerosis of the lower extremities causes intermittent lameness, pain and contractions in their legs, a sense of coldness. When the cerebral arteries are dismissed, it affects memory, focus and can lead to stroke.
The doctor stressed that ignoring the symptoms is dangerous. Atherosclerosis can lead to a limb of sharp ischemia, amputation, stroke, myocardi infarction and chronic blood circulation, which undermines the activity of vital organs.
According to the cardicon, you need to pass a research to detect the disease in time.
"First, it is worth a blood test for a lipid profile and to perform the ultrasound examination of skins, cerebral and foot arteries. At the same time, the crown arteries are not visible during ultrasound examination, so crowned angiography is used to assess their transability, "Fomician explained.
