Symptoms of aortic and coronary artery calcification

Aortic and coronary artery calcification is usually not clinically symptomatic and is discovered because it is often reported in middle-aged and elderly people during physical examinations, such as during chest radiographs or CT, when aortic root calcification or coronary artery calcification is detected. Therefore, many people may be nervous when they find aortic root calcification or coronary artery calcification. However, both aortic calcification and coronary artery calcification are caused by endothelial damage, vascular aging, and calcium deposition. Aortic calcification usually has no clinical manifestations, while coronary artery calcification is all accompanied by angina symptoms due to lipid plaque necrosis and calcification based on coronary artery stenosis. Once angina symptoms appear, they may be treated with reference to the principles of coronary heart disease management. Coronary artery calcification should also go for further examination. If coronary artery calcification is found to have clear angina-related symptoms, angina and coronary heart disease screening may be required, and a series of therapeutic drugs for coronary heart disease may be used. If no symptoms of coronary angina are found, simple aortic sclerosis, calcification as well as coronary artery calcification, it is recommended to regulate lifestyle, such as low salt and low fat diet, as well as measures such as quitting smoking and limiting alcohol and staying up less late.
