What Is Carotid Artery Disease?
Carotid artery disease occurs when the blood vessels in the neck (carotid arteries) become narrowed or blocked by plaque buildup, restricting blood flow to the brain. Early detection and proper management are crucial to prevent complications.
Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA): Temporary episodes of weakness or numbness on one side of the body.
Sudden Weakness or Paralysis: Typically on one side of the body.
Difficulty Speaking or Understanding Speech: Aphasia or slurred speech.
Types of Plaques Formed in the Carotid Vessels:
- Fatty Plaque: Comprised of cholesterol and fat.
- Calcified Plaque: Hardened deposits that may narrow the arteries.
- Hemorrhagic Plaque: Prone to rupture, potentially causing blood clots.
- Risk Factors:
- Age: Increased risk with age, especially over 65.
- Smoking: Damages blood vessels and accelerates plaque buildup.
- High Blood Pressure: A major contributor to arterial damage.
- Diabetes: Linked to an increased risk of vascular diseases.
- High Cholesterol: Elevated cholesterol levels contribute to plaque formation.
- Complications:
- Stroke: Reduced blood flow to the brain can lead to a stroke.
- Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA): Warning signs of potential stroke.
- Carotid Artery Aneurysm: Weakening of the arterial wall may lead to bulging.
