What happens to aortic and coronary artery sclerosis?

Aortic and coronary artery sclerosis, usually a manifestation of vascular aging, is manifested by thickening of the intima, deposition of lipid plaques, deposition of calcium ions and other minerals within the vessel walls, reduction of elastic fibers and collagen tissues within the vessel walls, and loss of vascular elasticity, commonly known as vascular sclerosis. The aorta is the large artery interconnected with the left ventricle of the heart and is responsible for transporting blood to all parts of the body. The coronary arteries, on the other hand, are responsible for transporting blood to supply the heart itself. Atherosclerosis of the aorta and coronary arteries can usually be observed during a CT scan of the chest. Atherosclerosis is usually associated with the following factors: i. Age, the degree of atherosclerosis is more severe in older people than in younger people. Second, hypertension, long-term uncontrolled hypertension has a greater shear force on blood vessels, and blood vessels are more likely to harden. Third, with cardiovascular risk factors, such as high blood pressure, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high uric acid, can aggravate vascular damage, leading to rapid hardening of blood vessels.
