How to detect atherosclerosis?

Atherosclerosis is not unfamiliar to many people. It is a very common type of arteriosclerosis. Atherosclerosis can usually be diagnosed through testing. There are many tests for atherosclerosis. In addition to hospital testing, you can also self-test for symptoms.

1. Atherosclerosis is the most common and important type of arteriosclerosis. The characteristic of this disease is that arterial lesions start from the intima. This disease often causes blood supply obstruction and thrombosis, which often has a huge impact on the patient's work and life. Therefore, it needs to be taken seriously. If the clinical symptoms of this disease appear, you must go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.

2. It is recommended to check lipoprotein and lipoprotein, as well as check the changes in blood lipids and high and low densities, etc. It is also necessary to check for changes in the fundus arteries, and ultrasound can be used to check whether the renal arteries and limb arteries are patent. In addition, X-ray examinations can also detect tortuosity, dilation, and stretching of the aorta, and sometimes calcium deposits. Curative angiography can reveal the location and extent of lesions in the coronary arteries, renal arteries, and limb arteries.

3. In addition to hospital examinations, if patients can learn about the signs of arteriosclerosis earlier, they can further strengthen self-detection and protection, thereby slowing down the rate of its progression, and can also make corresponding treatments based on the conditions they monitor. Generally speaking, the symptoms of atherosclerosis include: neurasthenia, poor judgment, abnormal emotions, abnormal behavior, autonomic dysfunction, epileptic convulsions, etc. If any of the above conditions occur, or if you are worried that you have arteriosclerosis, you can go to the hospital for examination. If sclerosis is found, you can receive treatment as soon as possible.
