How to treat abdominal aortic sclerosis

For patients with abdominal aortic sclerosis, first of all, attention should be paid to a reasonable diet, avoiding high-fat, greasy food, and also appropriate physical exercise. For the elderly, walking, health exercises and tai chi are advocated, but strenuous exercise should not be done, and should be done gradually so as not to impose a serious burden on the heart and lungs. In addition, life should be regular, keep a happy mood, quit smoking and drinking, and actively treat primary diseases, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, etc. Control blood pressure, blood sugar and blood lipids at a stable level. In addition, you can also choose drugs to dilate blood vessels and lift vascular movement disorders, such as isosorbide mononitrate, nifedipine extended-release tablets and diltiazem, etc. You should also apply lipid-regulating drugs based on a reasonable diet, and drugs to lower triglycerides include fenofibrate and atorvastatin, etc. Cholesterol-lowering drugs include simvastatin, pravastatin, etc. Anti-platelet adhesion and aggregation drugs such as aspirin, thrombolytic and anticoagulant drugs such as urokinase can also be applied. In the above cases, if conservative treatment is not effective, interventional treatment can be considered, including recanalization of narrowed or occluded vessels to restore blood supply to the arteries.
