How aortic atherosclerosis and coronary artery calcification are treated

Aortic atherosclerosis and coronary artery calcification can be treated with medication to lower blood pressure, reduce plaque formation, and stabilize plaque, as well as with surgery to place an arterial stent. 1. If the degree of atherosclerosis and coronary arteriography shows that the obstruction is not serious and the blood supply can still meet the body’s daily life, the progression of the disease can be slowed down by taking the commonly used drugs for lowering blood pressure (propranolol, nifedipine, valsartan, etc.), decreasing the formation of plaque (aspirin, clopidogrel, etc.), and stabilizing plaques (statins, fibrates, etc.). The above medications need to be administered under the guidance of a medical professional. 2. If arteriography or coronary angiography shows that the degree of blood vessel hardening and obstruction is so severe that it cannot satisfy the body’s daily activities, arterial stenting can be used to treat the disease, and after the operation, it is still necessary to continue to take plaque-reducing and stabilizing medications. The above operations and medications need to be carried out under the guidance of a specialized doctor. If such a situation occurs, please consult a doctor in time and follow the doctor’s instructions to carry out reasonable and standardized diagnosis and treatment.
