Cerebral arteriosclerosis

Cerebral arteriosclerosis is the culprit of cerebral thrombosis. It not only causes cerebral thrombosis, but also leads to other brain diseases, such as chronic cerebral ischemia, transient ischemic attack, etc. These are some diseases caused by cerebral arteriosclerosis. Moreover, cerebral arteriosclerosis is usually prone to typical symptoms such as dizziness and nausea, which shows how serious the harm of cerebral arteriosclerosis is.

Cerebral arteriosclerosis generally occurs in middle-aged and elderly people, especially middle-aged and elderly men, who are more likely to suffer from cerebral arteriosclerosis. Although the disease itself does not have any particularly obvious harm, some of the diseases it causes are very serious. Specific diseases caused by cerebral arteriosclerosis include:

1. Neurasthenia syndrome

Such as headache, dizziness, fatigue, inattention, memory loss, emotional instability, slow thinking, sleep disorders (insomnia or drowsiness), etc., the condition fluctuates.

2. Carotid atherosclerotic plaque microemboli shedding

Transient ischemic attack (TCIA) may occur occasionally, just as coronary artery sclerosis causes angina pectoris and lower limb atherosclerosis causes intermittent claudication. Cerebral arteriosclerosis may cause transient ischemic syndrome on the basis of chronic cerebral dysfunction. Foreign scholars regard angina pectoris as a clinical symptom of coronary artery sclerosis and TCIA (except cardiac causes) as a clinical symptom of cerebral arteriosclerosis.

3. Retinal arteriosclerosis

The arteries become thinner and the reflection increases. In severe cases, they appear like silver threads and there are cross-pressure marks between arteries and veins. The palmo-chin reflex and sucking reflex are positive. Patients with a history of stroke may have residual localizing signs such as cranial nerve damage, hemiplegia, and hemisensory disturbance.

The prognosis of cerebral arteriosclerosis is generally good. However, since it can exist alone, there is a possibility of stroke in the future. Therefore, the patient's prognosis is related to primary diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia or diabetes, as well as the prognosis of secondary stroke.

The above-mentioned diseases are all symptoms of diseases caused by cerebral arteriosclerosis. If you have been diagnosed with cerebral arteriosclerosis, it is recommended that you pay attention to diet conditioning in your daily life. You must eat more foods that have the effect of softening blood vessels to avoid complications caused by cerebral arteriosclerosis, otherwise it will seriously endanger your health.
