Different degrees of aortic calcification have different effects on the life expectancy of patients and should be analyzed on a problem-by-problem basis and should not be generalized. Aortic calcification indicates a reduced degree of vascular elasticity, and its formation is closely related to age, with atherosclerosis occurring in about 20% of patients over 60 years of age. If aortic calcification is detected through imaging examinations such as CT and fluoroscopy, but there are no other uncomfortable symptoms, it can be left untreated and has no great impact on the patient’s life expectancy. However, when the narrowing of blood vessels due to aortic calcification enters the ischemic phase, the ischemia of heart, brain, kidney and other important organs may be combined at this time. If the corresponding treatment is not taken in time, such as stent placement, it may cause serious complications such as myocardial infarction, cerebral ischemia and angina pectoris, thus endangering the patient’s life. Patients with aortic calcification are advised to pay attention to their diet, eat more protein-rich foods, eat more vegetables and fruits, and avoid foods that are too oily, spicy and stimulating.
