Young, healthy blood vessels are smooth and pink. They stretch with the flow of blood. For example, the flow of blood increases when a person excercises heavily, arteries widen to carry increased blood circulation.
A layer of fatlike substance may often form within the walls of the blood vessels as a person grows older. This extra layer interferes with the flow of blood. Sometimes, calciu collects on the fatty layer. Eventually, the space for the blood to flow becomes narrower and the walls of the blood vessels become stiffer. This kind of condition is known as arteriosclerosis, or the hardening of the arteries.
This condition has many causes, such as cigarrette smoking and high blood pressure. These two can speed up the hardening of the arteries. Another causes may be eating foods which have high cholesterol and contains too much fat, complemented by not getting enough exercise.
When the layers inside become very thick, the heart works harder to pump the blood through a very narrow opening. Sometimes, a weak place forms in the damaged artery walls and bulges like a ballon. This condition is called aneurysm. Sometimes, the inside of the artery wall is uneven and rough. Blood sticks to one of those rough places, and more blood blocks up behing it. A blood clot may form this way and block a blood vessel competely. When these things happen, the blood supply for some parts of the body may be lessened or stopped. If this happens to the artery supplying blood to the heart, the person will have a heart attack. On the other hand, if this happens to the artery supplying blood to the brain, the person will have a stroke.
Treatment
Treatment for arteriosclerosis can vary, determined by the amount of blockage an artery has suffered from a plethora of external causes. This disease refers to the arterial cells that make up the arterial walls containing a repair defect. Seeing a doctor is recommended for people who have a blocked artery which is plugged and unstable. Muscle growth is caused in the artery's wall component. Without aid, insufficient oxygen is delivered to tissues and it causes blood clots. The most common early stage atherosclerosis treatment is a nutrient mix, developed by doctors, that halts and may even reverse early stage arteriosclerosis.
This mix must be consumed at least twice daily on a long term basis in order to facilitate the effective repair of the arterial cells. In addition to the nutrient mix treatment for arteriosclerosis, a change in lifestyle is advised. This equates to no smoking, weight loss if overweight, less alcohol consumption, reduction of saturated fats in a diet, and an increase in fresh fruits and vegetables. Atherosclerosis treatment lifestyle changes also include the inclusion of complex carbs into the diet, and a low dose of aspirin to thin the blood so it may flow easier through the clogged artery.
Another option includes balloon angioplasty. Balloon angioplasty atherosclerosis treatment is described as a tube passing down the artery using an x-ray for guidance. Once in place, the tube releases a balloon which is blown up to widen the artery and allows blood to flow through at a better rate. This may be needed for people who have select risks such as: super high cholesterol, a deficiency of nutrients resulting in a second rate arterial cell repair process, sugar-insulin mismatches, hormonal imbalances, fatigued mitochondria, immune defects, impaired detoxification capacity, or a lack of needed fish oils.
If the above mentioned risks are combined, a doctor's assistance may be necessary. To determine whether or not to test for atherosclerosis treatment, a list of symptoms should be given to the doctor to help recognize the condition and establish a plan of attack. Symptoms include: headache, dizzy spells, ringing in ears, memory problems, poor concentration, and mood changes. Chest pain (angina), and elevated blood pressure, may be telltale signs of a serious problem. For those needing treatment for arteriosclerosis in the arm and leg arteries, symptoms may include: aching muscles, fatigue, cramping pains in calves, and pain in the hips and thighs. If any problem is suspected, it is advised to seek a doctor's professional opinion in order to be treated if needed.
