Whether bilateral carotid atherosclerosis is dangerous or not depends on the specific condition of the patient, but in most cases the danger is small.
1. Bilateral carotid atherosclerosis is less dangerous: carotid atherosclerosis refers to atherosclerotic lesions of carotid arteries that appear gradually under the combined influence of ageing, abnormalities of sugar and lipid metabolism, smoking, high blood pressure and other risk factors. Carotid atherosclerosis disease progresses slowly, if there is no discomfort symptoms generally less dangerous, but still need active treatment.
2. Bilateral carotid atherosclerosis is more dangerous: with the accumulation of plaque in carotid atherosclerosis, even carotid stenosis can be formed. At this time is more dangerous. It can easily lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain, and even cause stroke, transient ischemic attack and other emergencies.
Bilateral carotid atherosclerosis needs timely medical attention and active treatment under the guidance of a doctor to avoid delaying the condition.
