The necessity and importance of early prevention and treatment of “atherosclerosis” Over the past 20 years of reform and opening up, people’s living standards have been continuously improved and raised, and people’s recipes have been transformed. The relative or absolute increase of this disease has jumped to the top of the list of major causes of death in the population. What is the way out to change this situation? The answer is clear: in prevention and early treatment. And the early treatment of “atherosclerosis” is reversible. The medical practice of “atherosclerosis” and modern research tell us that the insidious stage of “atherosclerosis” has no clinical manifestations and is difficult to diagnose. Therefore, Chinese and Western doctors have lost the best time to treat “atherosclerosis”. Patients only go to the hospital when they have clinical symptoms or feel uncomfortable, when “atherosclerosis” has already formed, or has entered the ischemic phase, or the necrotic phase, or even the fibrosis phase. When the disease has developed to this stage, Chinese and Western doctors are able to perform their talents, but their treatment is always weak. After long-term treatment, the majority of patients can only achieve improvement and temporary remission. The reasons for this are, firstly, that the patients cannot cooperate well with the treatment (either the treatment course is too long or the medical cost is too expensive for the patients to bear, so they relax or give up the treatment); secondly, it is difficult to reverse the pathology in the middle and late stages of the disease, so the treatment is more difficult and the prognosis is mostly poor. Therefore, the prevention and early diagnosis and treatment of atherosclerosis is an effective method and active measure to curb the rapid increase of the disease, which is very necessary.
