Second degree arteriosclerosis

Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are very common in the elderly, which is not only closely related to their long-term living habits, but also directly related to the degenerative reactions of some organs in their bodies. Arteriosclerosis is also a common cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease in the elderly. Atherosclerosis is likely to cause some infarctions, and there are many different levels of atherosclerosis. So is level 2 atherosclerosis serious?

Treatment of arteriosclerosis

The main purpose of treating arteriosclerosis is to dilate blood vessels, regulate blood lipids, and dissolve blood clots. Therefore, whether it is drug treatment or surgical treatment, any measure and method that can achieve these functions is an effective measure and method for treating arteriosclerosis.

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 Nitrobenazine sustained-release tablets (Baixintong), 30 mg, once a day;

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

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.

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

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

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

4. Thrombolytic drugs 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 to the above treatments for arteriosclerosis, interventional treatments can also be used, including recanalization, revascularization or bypass transplantation of narrowed or occluded blood vessels, especially coronary arteries, renal arteries and limb arteries, to restore arterial blood supply.
