Arteries are distributed throughout the body like water pipes. Under normal circumstances, they have the functions of contraction and relaxation, are elastic, and their lumens are unobstructed without blockage. Arteriosclerosis is a condition where the walls of blood vessels thicken, lose elasticity and narrow due to various reasons, just like rust and garbage accumulate on the walls of pipes, causing the lumen to become thinner. It is a long-term chronic progressive lesion process and an important basis for the onset of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Arteriosclerosis is the main cause of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, manifested as thickening, hardening, loss of elasticity and narrowing of the lumen of arteries. Hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, obesity, lack of exercise, smoking, excessive stress, family history, etc. are all risk factors for arteriosclerosis. Because arteriosclerosis usually has no obvious clinical symptoms in its early stage, it is very easy to be overlooked. However, once arteriosclerosis progresses to the middle and late stages, it may cause damage to the corresponding blood supply target organs, such as myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction and other serious consequences. Therefore, early screening and detection of atherosclerotic lesions are of vital importance.
With the acceleration of modern life pace and changes in dietary habits, the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases has been increasing year by year, seriously threatening people’s lives and health. Arteriosclerosis lesions are becoming younger and younger. Arteriosclerosis detection not only helps us detect arteriosclerosis lesions at an early stage, but also assesses the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as metabolic syndrome. Through regular testing, we can achieve “early detection, early detection and early intervention”, effectively delaying the progression of arteriosclerosis and reducing the occurrence of serious diseases such as myocardial infarction and stroke.
