Carotid artery intima-media undersmoothness is a carotid ultrasound finding that indicates a lesion at the carotid artery intima-media, which is often caused by carotid atherosclerosis with plaque formation.
Carotid artery lining is often associated with carotid atherosclerosis with plaque formation, which is common in patients with obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes and other diseases.
Carotid atherosclerosis with plaque formation patients, if the condition is allowed to continue to develop, can lead to the carotid artery intima-media atherosclerosis plaque increase, which leads to carotid artery stenosis, and can be followed by a series of symptoms such as insufficient blood supply to the brain. In addition, if plaque rupture, localized formation of thrombus, thrombus dislodgement, can lead to cerebral infarction and other serious consequences.
If the carotid artery lining is found to be not smooth, please follow the doctor’s instructions to make adjustments to your life and diet, and, if necessary, have regular reviews and timely treatment.
