summary

For the elderly, because of the decline of the digestive system of the body, it is easy to hoard greasy food in the body, leading to peripheral arteriosclerosis. Let's explain the meaning of peripheral and middle arteriosclerosis.

What is peripheral arteriosclerosis

First of all, arteriosclerosis is related to the natural aging of human body. Hypertension and hyperlipidemia are the risk factors to promote arteriosclerosis. Effective control of blood pressure and lipids can significantly delay the process of arteriosclerosis and improve arteriosclerosis to a certain extent. We must pay attention to light diet, drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and actively control blood pressure and blood lipids. If there are symptoms, we can use drugs to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. If necessary, we can use arterial stents. Arteriosclerosis is a fatal cause that can cause patients to be unable to walk for a long time. The elderly must pay more attention to it.

Secondly, atherosclerosis causes peripheral artery disease. The risk of arterial disease increases with age. Men over the age of 50 are more likely to suffer from the disease. Other factors included smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and triglycerides, hyperhemiactinemia, and 30% of the ideal body weight.

Finally, the doctor will formulate drug treatment plans for the current aggravating arterial disease development and its complications, including lipid-lowering and antihypertensive drugs. Some patients may also need anticoagulants to reduce the risk of blood clotting in the stenotic artery.
