AROTIC ATHEROSCLEROSIS! INSIDE BODY’S (AAS) OVER DECADES?

Aortic atherosclerosis is the gradual thickening and hardening of the aortic artery walls caused by the buildup of fatty plaques composed of cholesterol, calcium, and other substances. This narrowing restricts blood flow and can trigger serious health issues like heart attacks, strokes, aneurysms, and organ damage. The disease often develops silently over many years, with mild or nonspecific symptoms until advanced stages.​

Causes & Risk Factors
Damage to the arterial lining from high LDL cholesterol, smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, and aging

Chronic inflammation accelerating plaque formation

Genetic predisposition and unhealthy lifestyle factors including sedentary habits and poor diet

Autoimmune diseases and chronic conditions causing persistent inflammation​

Symptoms
Early signs may be vague: fatigue, mild chest discomfort, or shortness of breath with exertion

Advanced disease causes angina (chest pain), palpitations, and claudication (leg pain while walking)

Possible neurological symptoms like dizziness, numbness, or vision problems if blood flow to the brain is affected

Sudden severe chest or back pain in case of aneurysm or arterial rupture​

Diagnosis & Treatment
Diagnosis consists of physical exams, imaging (ultrasound, CT, MRI), ankle-brachial index testing, and blood tests.
Treatment interventions aim to:

Slow disease progression through lifestyle modifications: healthy diet, exercise, smoking cessation, weight control

Medications to lower cholesterol (statins), control blood pressure, reduce clotting risk (aspirin)

Manage diabetes and other comorbid conditions

Surgical or endovascular procedures to repair or bypass severely damaged arteries in selected cases.​

Taking control early with comprehensive care can prevent life-threatening complications.
