Clogged arteries can bring about many heart issues and there is no quick way to melt away this problem. However, changes in one’s lifestyle can decrease or even stop the accumulation of plaque, the substance responsible for clogging blood vessels. This would entail better diet choices, exercise, and abstain from unhealthy habits like drinking alcohol and smoking. Following strictly these changes will improve heart health.
When the blockages in arteries become serious, medical procedures, specifically surgery, may be required to remove them. In less serious cases, doctors may prescribe medications such as aspirin or cholesterol-reducing drugs.
What are Clogged Arteries?
Plaque causes clogged arteries and is composed mainly of cholesterol, waste from body cells, and calcium. The substance can stick to the wall of blood vessels, causing them to get narrower. This leads to a condition called atherosclerosis.
When arteries become clogged because of plaque accumulation, blood is inhibited from reaching the various parts of the body. This condition puts a person at risk of heart-related diseases. Fortunately, there are many ways that can prevent the build-up of plaque and clogged arteries. Medical treatments are available, but these are invasive. Prevention is the best treatment because removing plaque is harder than preventing it from accumulating.
