Atherosclerotic plaque in brachiocephalic arteries and limb arteries

If atherosclerotic plaques were found in the arteries during a duplex examination of the vessels, the cause may be atherosclerosis. It can be stenosing or non-stenosing. The main problem in this case is a violation of the blood supply to the brain or limbs.

If the disease is detected at the initial stages, it can significantly simplify treatment and speed up recovery. The main signs are:

  • decreased memory and concentration;
  • dizziness when moving the head, flies in the eyes;
  • low temperature of the hands and feet.

The most important problem of atherosclerosis is that its main development proceeds unnoticed by the patient. The disease can begin in youth, and the main signs will appear only after 40. For this reason, everyone should think about atherosclerosis as early as possible and monitor the condition of their vessels from a young age.

The disease has two stages. The first is non—stenosing atherosclerosis. At this stage, the disease is easy enough to cure, problems with high blood pressure and blockage of blood vessels do not appear yet. The plaque covers the lumen only by 20-30%.

If the problem is not treated at the first stage, the second one develops — stenosing atherosclerosis. Plaques in the vessels grow and form very quickly. This process leads to a violation of blood circulation and negatively affects the entire body. The brain is particularly affected.

Depending on the severity of the problem, treatment may be medical or surgical. But any stage is easier to prevent than to fight it. An excellent option for therapy and prevention will be a rest in the sanatoriums of AMAKS. It will help to fulfill the basic recommendations in the fight against atherosclerosis:
