Carotid atherosclerosis is mainly common carotid artery and branch carotid artery atherosclerosis. After carotid atherosclerosis, patients with carotid valve stenosis, and easy to induce ischemic cerebrovascular disease. Most patients with carotid atherosclerosis do not have clinical symptoms, so it is easy to be ignored. Some patients with carotid atherosclerosis may have symptoms, such as transient blindness or monocular blindness. It may also cause cerebral ischemia.

What symptom does carotid artery sclerosis have

First: after the occurrence of carotid atherosclerosis, the patient is prone to hypoxia and ischemia, and plaque will be formed on the vascular wall of the carotid artery, which will lead to poor blood circulation in the blood vessels of the patient, and further make the brain tissue ischemic, and the patient will feel dizzy, memory will decline significantly, and the ability of thinking and reaction will decline.

Second: the prolonged duration of carotid atherosclerosis can lead to brain atrophy, and the plaque formed in the carotid artery wall can fall off, eventually blocking the artery, causing cerebral infarction, making the patient speak unclear, leading to blindness, stroke, and even life-threatening.

Third: carotid atherosclerosis is easy to cause cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral thrombosis. It can also lead to myocardial infarction, angina or heart failure. The incidence rate of carotid atherosclerosis is high in patients with hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia. The risk of carotid atherosclerosis is increased in men after 50 years old and in women after menopause.
