Whether calcified foci of the pulmonary aorta are important depends mainly on the extent of the calcification and whether there is serious blockage of the pulmonary artery.
Ageing degenerative pulmonary aortic calcification range is small, pulmonary aortic blood flow is not obviously blocked, generally speaking does not matter. In the case of pulmonary aortic calcification caused by pulmonary thrombosis or pulmonary hypertension, which is large in extent and seriously blocks the main trunk and branches of the pulmonary artery, the patient’s symptoms are severe and the condition is critical.
1. Most of the calcified foci of the pulmonary aorta are caused by the reduced elasticity of the blood vessels after aging, resulting in damage to the blood vessel wall and the formation of calcium salt deposition, which is a degenerative change in old age. Calcified foci generally will not fall off and cause pulmonary embolism, and will not cause obvious blockage of the pulmonary aortic blood flow, and the condition should not be critical.
2. A small number of pulmonary thrombosis, pulmonary hypertension caused by pulmonary aortic calcification foci range, can be different degrees of blockage of the pulmonary aorta, calcification foci can be seriously blocked branches of the pulmonary artery, caused by activity panic, chest tightness and other clinical symptoms, the patient’s symptoms are heavy, the condition of the disease is critical.
Calcified foci of the pulmonary aorta to be critical or not, it is recommended to go to the regular hospital for further consultation and or treatment, so as not to miss the condition.
