summary
Vascular calcification is a common pathological manifestation of atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetic vascular disease, vascular injury, chronic kidney disease and aging.

How does old person cardiovascular calcification do?
Vascular calcification: vessels are divided into three layers: adventitia, media and intima. In the process of metabolism, the wall of blood vessel became hard and calcium salt was deposited. Calcification in the adventitia does not affect blood flow. Even if there are plaques in the blood vessels, small plaques will not affect the blood flow.
2. The change of vascular intima results in the loss of intima, resulting in plaque on the intima and the formation of vascular stenosis. Vascular stenosis leads to stroke in the brain, myocardial infarction in the heart, renal insufficiency or renal hypertension in the kidney.
3. Exercise is very good for reducing LDL and increasing HDL. Whether it is the elderly or young people, proper exercise is still very good.
