Diabetic Patients With Small Cardiovascular "age"

Core Tip: hypertension, dyslipidemia and diabetes, these common diseases of modern society, are accelerated atherosclerosis, increased vascular age important "killer."
In our daily lives, it is easy to find coronary heart disease, stroke, myocardial infarction and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, sick people, mostly elderly. Also found in pathological anatomy, pathological changes in the degree of atherosclerosis increased with age, increasing year by year. We can think of, in the ease of blood vessels in the body will increase with age, experience "growth, development, aging," the different stages. Some people due to genetic factors, the usual bad eating habits and lifestyle and other factors, the advance of atherosclerosis formation. Vessels of these people age, is greater than his physical age, so they happen cardiovascular disease risk is much greater than their peers. This is a lot of clinical coronary heart disease patients will be younger, some even in the 30-year-old will be causes of the disease.
Hypertension, dyslipidemia and diabetes of these common diseases of modern society, are accelerated atherosclerosis, increased vascular age important "killer." If the blood of excess cholesterol, triglycerides and other lipids can not be metabolized in time, will be there like garbage in the blood, so blood lipids, blood viscosity also will increase the blood flow becomes slow, lipids deposits attached to the vessel wall, atherosclerotic plaque formation, reduce blood vessel pliability, blood vessels will sclerosis; and long-term high blood pressure will directly affect the blood vessels flexible, so that blocked blood flow, leading to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases occurred.
Three of the most dangerous areas of atherosclerosis
First, coronary atherosclerosis, and second, the brain tissue of atherosclerosis and the third is the carotid artery atherosclerosis. We all know that coronary atherosclerosis can lead to myocardial infarction, cerebral atherosclerosis may lead to cerebral infarction. Carotid coarse, direct supply of blood and brain tissue facial features and other important organs. When carotid atherosclerosis when, as two hands grabbed his neck, caused by cerebral ischemia, hypoxia, occurs in patients with dizziness, vertigo and other symptoms.
Perspective on the current medical standards, the carotid artery atherosclerosis than coronary and cerebral atherosclerosis detection much easier. Ultrasound carotid artery, convenient and easy, the probe attached to the patients neck, the carotid artery can identify the extent of atherosclerosis, plaque location, size, a non-blocking, and the blood flow speed. Many studies have shown that carotid atherosclerosis and the extent of coronary atherosclerosis and cerebral atherosclerosis have a certain degree of correlation. Visible carotid atherosclerosis detected for the prediction of myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction provide an objective basis. This is the modern medical attention carotid ultrasonography of the important reasons.
Keep blood vessels young
Although we can not resist the natural decline, but we can slow the development of atherosclerosis process.
① quit alcohol limit, to maintain a reasonable diet. Smoking on carotid atherosclerosis in the formation of the greatest impact, it must be strictly quit smoking. Usually eat more grains, fruits, vegetables, less meat, to ensure that low-sugar, low fat, low cholesterol diet; eat apples, carrots, skim milk, shellfish, spinach, oranges, wheat germ, tuna and other anti-aging food.
② adhere to physical exercise. Daily half-hour tai chi exercise or walking can significantly improve the body's high-density lipoprotein levels. This can eliminate the deposition of lipoproteins in the blood vessel wall caused by atherosclerosis in low-density lipoprotein, the prevention of vascular aging.
③ maintain a good attitude. Attitude adjustment, with a liberal mind to face life with optimism.
④ appropriate plus some drugs. Aspirin is the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease more common applications of drugs that can slow down the rate of aging of blood vessels.
