What to do about aortic and coronary atherosclerosis

Aortic and coronary atherosclerosis should be controlled to control risk factors, delay disease progression, and improve symptoms, as summarized below: 1. Control risk factors Smoking, obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperhomocysteinemia, and respiratory sleep apnea are risk factors for aortic and coronary atherosclerosis, and it is necessary to control the above risk factors, such as smoking cessation, weight loss, lowering blood pressure, lowering lipids, lowering homocysteine, and rational noninvasive ventilators to control risk factors. 2. Delaying disease progression For slowing down the progression of aortic and coronary atherosclerosis, in addition to controlling the risk factors, anti-platelet aggregation drugs such as aspirin enteric-coated tablets and lipid-regulating plaque-stabilizing drugs such as simvastatin can be used to prevent the progression of the disease. Of course, liver function and other indicators need to be monitored. 3. Improvement of symptoms If there is angina and other symptoms, then you need to improve the symptoms, take nitroglycerin and other measures to expand the crown, if necessary, coronary angiography stent implantation and other measures to improve the symptoms. In conclusion, if there is aortic and coronary atherosclerosis, then regular medical checkups should be conducted for further diagnosis and treatment. Specific treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
