Calcification of the aorta of the heart does not usually affect the patient’s survival time. It occurs for a number of reasons, including aging, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, and other causes.
Calcification of the aorta is a phenomenon in which calcium salt deposits occur in the aortic wall, which can be seen as a bright spot or a bright dot on a CT scan. It usually occurs when a plaque forms on top of aortic atherosclerosis, and when the plaque ruptures and bleeds, calcium salt deposits occur, leading to aortic calcification.
Aortic calcification usually does not need to be treated for calcification itself, the main thing is to control and slow down the progression of aortic atherosclerosis, and at the same time to carry out effective and reasonable control of hypertension, hyperlipidemia and other primary diseases, and lower the blood pressure to 140/90mmHg or less.
Normally, triglycerides, cholesterol, and LDL should be closely monitored to keep them within the normal range, which can effectively control the progression of aortic calcification.
After checking out cardiac aortic calcification, one should seek medical treatment in time, follow the doctor’s instructions, standardize the use of medication, and maintain a healthy lifestyle at the same time.
