Dialogues for health//Cerebral atherosclerosis
The onset of atherosclerosis begins in childhood, therefore it is opportune to prevent atherosclerosis from an early age. The risk of atherosclerosis increases as we age, so men over 45 and women over 55 are at increased risk of atherosclerosis.
"Lifestyle is essential in the prevention of atherosclerosis. Healthy food and physical exercises improve blood circulation and stimulate the development of the natural formation of healthy blood vessels", says cardiologist Grigore Popușoi.
For the diagnosis of coronary heart disease, the cardiologist will indicate the performance of blood tests, electrocardiogram, cardiac ultrasound, holter EKG, stress EKG test, coronary angiography, CT of the heart. Drug treatment will be administered throughout life, in order to reduce symptoms and to avoid complications. Normal blood pressure and cholesterol levels will be strictly maintained and diabetes will be controlled.
