Carotid atherosclerosis can not be cured by only taking ginkgo biloba, clinically commonly used antiplatelet aggregation drugs and statin lipid-regulating drugs, and severe cases may require surgical plaque stripping. Ginkgo biloba is mainly used to treat symptoms such as chest tightness, chest pain, stroke, hemiplegia, etc. It is suitable for patients with coronary heart disease, angina pectoris and cerebral infarction. Carotid atherosclerosis is mainly due to the deposition of low-density lipoproteins on the carotid blood vessels to form plaques, and these lipid plaques may continue to increase in size, which can cause narrowing of the blood vessels and impede blood flow. Mild stenosis can be treated with oral medications, including antiplatelet drugs such as aspirin and clopidogrel, and statin lipid-lowering drugs such as atorvastatin and resuvastatin. Patients with severe stenosis or symptoms may consider surgical treatment, such as carotid endarterectomy or stenting. Therefore, carotid atherosclerosis only taking ginkgo biloba is not acceptable, the specific treatment needs to consult the doctor, standardized diagnosis and treatment.
