Atherosclerosis requires active treatment as prescribed by the doctor, which may slow down the development of the lesion and improve the clinical symptoms. 1. Atherosclerosis refers to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques by the continuous aggregation of lipids and necrotic tissues in the inner lining of arterial vessels, which can occur in many parts of the body, such as the aorta, coronary arteries, renal arteries and so on, and with the development of the lesions, it can lead to cerebral vascular accidents, myocardial infarction, renal failure and other serious diseases, which jeopardize the patients’ lives, so it should be timely medical consultation and treatment. 2. The treatments for atherosclerosis include medication, interventional therapy, surgery, etc., of which the commonly used medications include lipid regulating drugs (such as atorvastatin, etc.), antiplatelet drugs (such as aspirin, etc.), anticoagulants (such as warfarin, etc.), and medications to improve the prognosis (such as captopril, irbesartan, etc.). 3. For stenotic or occluded vessels, interventional therapy such as percutaneous balloon dilatation and stent implantation can also be performed, and surgical treatment mainly consists of bypass grafting. Patients with atherosclerosis should seek medical treatment in time and follow the doctor’s instructions for appropriate treatment, and should not make blind judgment or use medication arbitrarily on their own, so as to avoid delaying the condition.
