What is the treatment for severe arteriosclerosis?

There are many causes of arteriosclerosis. Smoking, lack of exercise, obesity or overweight people may cause the disease to occur. Here, the doctor recommends that everyone go to the hospital for examination and treatment immediately. Secondly, reduce spicy and irritating foods in life, do not eat greasy, fishy and meaty foods, supplement more vitamin C, etc. Next, let’s take a closer look at the treatment methods for severe arteriosclerosis.

Method 1: Dilate blood vessels and relieve vascular movement disorders.

① Isosorbide mononitrate, 20 mg each time, 2-3 times a day; sustained-release capsules, 40 mg each time, once a day

② Nitropropene sustained-release tablets (Baixintong), 30 mg, once a day.

③ Diltiazem (Hexinshuang sustained-release tablets) 60 mg, once a day.

Method 2. Regulate blood lipids. If blood lipids are still higher than normal on the basis of a reasonable diet and moderate exercise, lipid-lowering drugs can be used.

①Drugs that lower triglycerides include: fenofibrate, atorvastatin, and gemfibrozil.

②Drugs that lower cholesterol include: simvastatin, fluvastatin, and pravastatin.

③Traditional Chinese medicines such as Xuezhikang and Zhibituo also have certain lipid-regulating effects.

Method 3. Drugs that prevent platelet adhesion and aggregation can prevent thrombosis and the occurrence and development of vascular occlusive diseases. Commonly used drugs include: enteric-coated aspirin, ticlopidine, etc.

Method 4. Thrombolytics and anticoagulants. For patients with intra-arterial thrombosis causing stenosis or obstruction of the artery lumen, thrombolytic drugs and anticoagulants such as urokinase, recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator, heparin, etc. can be used.

In addition, interventional treatments can also be used, including recanalization of narrowed or occluded blood vessels, especially the coronary arteries, renal arteries and limb arteries, or surgical procedures such as bypass transplantation to restore arterial blood supply.

Through the above article, we have also learned something about the treatment methods for severe arteriosclerosis. Here, I would like to remind everyone that the general symptoms of arteriosclerosis are chest tightness, palpitations, dizziness, headache, memory loss, cold and numb limbs, insomnia and dreaminess. So if you find yourself experiencing these symptoms, you must be cautious, go to the hospital as soon as possible for diagnosis, and then receive professional treatment based on the examination results.
