Therapeutic effects in each link
1
Atherosclerotic plaque formation
Blood vessel wall growth
Flesh bumps
1, “three highs” play a role in promoting, 2, natural aging
Thickening of the vessel wall, narrowing of the lumen and obstruction of blood flow; stiffening of the vessel wall and increase of blood pressure.
Impaired blood supply to the heart, brain, kidney and other organs
Prevention and treatment of the “three highs”, prohibit smoking and limit alcohol, exercise properly, work and rest on time, and pay attention to diet balance.
Emergency intravascular stent implantation or “bypass”. The combination of Chinese and Western medicine to dissolve, reduce and eliminate plaque has shown initial effect. It should be the basic goal
Promote the softening of blood vessels, stabilize, shrink and even disappear the plaque, and show the effect at the beginning of the first year of taking the medicine, and see the effect in two years.
2
Plaque rupture and fall off
”Flesh lump”
Shedding
With more lipid, thick plaque and thin envelope, it is easy to be ruptured by the impact of blood flow and extrusion of vessel wall.
Soft plaque or composite plaque cap rupture, the dislodged cap and outflow of necrotic lipid together block the blood vessel, which is the main cause of acute cerebral infarction, heart attack and lower limb artery embolism. Its suddenness and episodic nature are strong.
Causes acute organ ischemia: such as cerebral infarction, heart attack, lower limb necrosis
1.Distinguish the type of plaque, (stable plaque, vulnerable plaque) in order to make countermeasures.
2.Severe stenosis caused by soft plaque should be implanted with stent as much as possible to prevent rupture.
Emergency angiography state to pull out the plaque fragment, but it is difficult and the success rate is low.
Medication to stabilize plaque
1.Western drugs: statins, disadvantage: side effects on liver limit the dose and course of treatment and affect the efficacy.
2, Chinese medicine: lowering blood lipids to stabilize plaque.
It can effectively stabilize the plaque, and the efficacy is better with the western drugs of statin, and the effect is obvious in 6-9 months and 9-12 months.
3
Thrombosis
Blood clots
Platelet aggregation is induced by roughness of tube wall, infection, toxin, etc.; the “blood clotting” system is activated.
Solid blood clots block the blood vessels. (fibrin network with large aggregates of platelets, red blood cells, and white blood cells)
Attaches to the plaque surface or endocardium, causing chronic ischemia in the heart, brain and other organs.
1. Anticoagulants: stop fibrin formation. Heparin, warfarin, bicoumarin.
2, anti-platelet aggregation drugs: aspirin, hydroclopidogrel, cilostazol, various blood-activating herbs, and adult medicines.
1, Western medicine: urokinase series (from the formation of thrombus, more than 3 to 4.5 hours thrombolytic effect is reduced).
2, Chinese medicine: general herbs and adult medicines for activating blood circulation and resolving blood stasis have general efficacy.
Can effectively dissolve the thrombus, and is not limited by the time of thrombosis. (Small and medium-sized thrombi basically disappear in three to six months, while larger thrombi need nine to twelve months to dissolve).
4
Old thrombus dislodged embolism
Dislodged clots
Endocarditis in atrial fibrillation forms appendage thrombus, plaque surface thrombus, and deep vein thrombosis.
The thrombus is dislodged and blocks small vessels, such as heart thrombus blocking brain and lower limb arteries, and deep vein thrombus blocking pulmonary artery. Carotid artery thrombus blocking cerebral artery, heart and brain own thrombus blocking smaller blood vessels.
Causes acute infarction: cerebral infarction, cardiac infarction. Lower limb artery embolism, pulmonary infarction, etc.
1.Eliminate the cause of atrial fibrillation.
2.Avoid thrombosis.
3.Femoral vein pre-filtering.
1.Emergency thrombolysis (poor efficacy)
2.Surgical extraction of the thrombus (the efficacy is uncertain).
It is effective for thrombus blocked in cerebral vessels and thrombus in endocardium and lower limbs, but it is difficult for patients to wait for arterial thrombus in lower limbs because it takes a long time. Therefore, the efficacy is poor.
5
Blood thickening
Thickening of blood
Decrease in water content, increase in blood lipids, and hypercoagulation.
In particular, the surface of plaque is rough and easy to activate the coagulation system, resulting in increased fibrin, difficult blood flow and easy blockage.
Causes or aggravates organ blood supply disorders
1.Western medicine: heparin, warfarin, bicoumarin.
2.Chinese medicine: various kinds of blood-activating and stasis-removing herbs and Chinese patent medicines.
1.Western medicine: urokinase.
2.Chinese herbal medicine: various kinds of herbal medicines for activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and proprietary Chinese medicines.
It can effectively degrade the fibrin and improve the blood flow status. 1~2 weeks to show the effect, the clinical symptoms begin to relieve, and the blood flow value returns to normal around 1 month.
6
Blood vessel spasm
Vascular cramps
Induced by cold, mood swings (excitement, sadness, etc.)
Vasoconstriction, the lumen becomes smaller, and blood flow is obstructed.
Triggered by: angina pectoris, headache, etc.
Isosorbide mononitrate, nifedipine, isobodine.
Nitroglycerin tablets, isoamyl nitrite, rapid-acting cardiac pills.
Ineffective against vasospasm. However, it reduces the sensitivity of blood vessels to triggers.
