2 Symptoms of aortic atherosclerosis The symptoms of aortic atherosclerosis are not obvious in most cases. During physical examination, it was found that the second heart sound in the aortic valve area had metallic sound or systolic murmur, which could show an increase in blood pressure during systole. A few severe cases can form aortic aneurysm, among which thoracic aortic aneurysm can cause chest pain, shortness of breath, dysphagia, hemoptysis, hoarseness, tracheal displacement or obstruction. Once ruptured, aortic aneurysm will be fatal soon. In addition, atherosclerosis can also form dissecting aneurysm, but it is generally rare.
Symptoms of coronary atherosclerosis Coronary atherosclerotic heart disease is the most common organ disease caused by atherosclerosis. Coronary artery stenosis or occlusion can lead to different degrees and ranges of myocardial ischemia and hypoxia, angina pectoris and myocardial infarction.
4 cerebral arteriosclerosis cerebral arteriosclerosis can lead to cerebral ischemia, causing dizziness, headache and fainting. If there is cerebral artery thrombosis or bleeding, it can cause cerebrovascular accidents, such as headache, dizziness, vomiting, sudden loss of meaning, limb paralysis, hemianopia or aphasia. Brain atrophy can cause dementia, psychopathy, dyskinesia, decreased intelligence and memory.
