Coronary calcification is bad when calcium deposits occur in the coronary arteries and there is a decrease in the elasticity of the artery walls, which may be accompanied by other diseases.
Coronary calcification is usually seen in the elderly, especially in patients with coronary atherosclerosis. In this case, the patient’s coronary arteries show calcium deposits, and there are many reasons for this symptom, including coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, and high blood pressure.
Calcification of the coronary arteries will cause a decrease in the elasticity of the coronary arteries, and the long-term development will lead to narrowing of the coronary artery lumen, which in turn will lead to insufficient blood and oxygen supply to the heart muscle.
Therefore, it is important to go to the hospital for evaluation when calcification occurs in the coronary arteries, and take appropriate treatment under the guidance of the doctor. Oral medication such as simvastatin can be taken to lower blood lipids, and attention should be paid to a light diet in daily life to ensure sufficient rest and slow down the progression of the disease.
