We all know that the blood vessels that are all over the human body are important transportation routes throughout our entire body. Blood vessels can not only transport blood throughout the body, but also return to the heart through veins, so as to meet the body's needs for nutrients and oxygen.
Once plaque grows in the blood vessels, it is very likely to induce thrombosis, once the blood clot appears in the blood vessel will induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, so we must pay more attention to the health of the blood vessels, only in this way can we avoid some acute diseases.
What are the dangers of long plaque in blood vessels?
With the continuous aging, the body function will continue to decline, and for the elderly, the long spots in the blood vessels are also an irrepressible disease.
Especially for atherosclerosis patients, the plaque in the blood vessel will continue to accumulate, which will cause narrowing of the blood vessel, especially when the plaque on the inner wall of the blood vessel falls off, it is also very easy to form a blood clot and block the blood vessel, which will eventually cause myocardial infarction or cerebral infarction and other diseases.
What types of vascular lesions are life-threatening?
1. Hardening of arteries
For the elderly, although the body function continues to decline, it is easy to lead to the gradual loss of elasticity of blood vessels, and then the appearance of diseases such as arteriosclerosis. Especially when a large amount of lipids accumulate on the blood vessel wall, it will also lead to a decrease in the flexibility of the blood vessel, which will cause problems such as blood vessel blockage or blood vessel rupture.
Therefore, the elderly must pay more attention to the health of diet, and they should also quit smoking and alcohol in time, so as to delay the speed of hardening of arteries.
2. Vasospasm
Vasospasm is simply the strong contraction of arterial blood vessels, which will lead to narrowing of the vascular cavity, which in turn will lead to a decrease in blood flow, a slowdown in blood flow, if not effectively treated, then it may cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which is extremely harmful to the physical and mental health of patients.
Patients with chronic diseases or inflammation in the body can easily induce vasospasm diseases, so we must pay more attention to prevent this disease.
In patients with mild vasospasm, it may be relieved after a few minutes of onset, but if vasospasm lasts for a long time, it is very likely to trigger heart failure or ischemic cardiomyopathy.
Especially for atherosclerosis patients, the probability of vasospasm is higher, and severe ones may even produce blood clots, which will induce myocardial infarction or sudden death once the blood vessels are blocked.
Therefore, for the elderly, we must pay more attention to the conditioning diet, should eat more light food, eat less or do not eat high-fat or fried things, only in this way can we reduce the content of lipids in blood vessels, and can also effectively prevent the emergence of hypertension or hyperlipidemia diseases. More importantly, it can also reduce vasospasm and the probability of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
The above introduces the reasons for the long plaque in the blood vessels, and the harm of this disease to the health of the body, the elderly are the high incidence of long plaques in the blood vessels, once the disease may cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, serious and even may lead to sudden death and other hazards.
Therefore, in addition to paying more attention to a light diet, you should also do some moderate exercises, so as to avoid such diseases. In addition, you should also develop a good habit of doing regular physical examinations, only in this way can you stay away from the harm of cardiovascular diseases.
