Prevention of seasonal exacerbations of atherosclerotic diseases of the heart, brain, etc

Об этом видео:Atherosclerosis is a dual disease - metabolic and inflammatory. As a metabolic disease, it is associated with impaired cholesterol metabolism. As an inflammatory disease, it is associated with the encapsulation of cholesterol deposits under the arterial endothelium. That part of the cholesterol that the body cannot remove from the body is deposited under the endothelium of the arteries and is isolated by immuring it into connective tissue capsules. These capsules are called atherosclerotic plaques. Plaques are under constant pressure from the flow of blood in the arteries, they wear out quickly and needs to be constantly updated. The formation and renewal of plaques is realized through the mechanisms of inflammation. The chronic nature of atherosclerosis also determines the chronic nature of inflammation.
In autumn, winter and spring, immunity decreases and the impact on the body of natural factors, such as high humidity, low temperatures and their sharp fluctuations, increases. As a result, inflammatory processes in atherosclerotic plaques can be disrupted (the number of plaques increases catastrophically with age). As a result, we get an exacerbation of atherosclerosis. Everyone has their own exacerbation, in the form of increased frequency and severity of heart, brain and other attacks. So it turns out that in the prevention of exacerbations of atherosclerosis, the seasons of the year should not be missed, and the measures taken in them should be strengthened.
What is prevention? First of all, a healthy lifestyle. But this is not enough. You also need to dress according to the season so as not to accidentally catch a cold. Don't get wet during the rainy season. Do not overcool during the cold season. And, of course, start taking or increase the dose of statins and aspirin taken. It should be aspirin, not some antiplatelet drugs. Aspirin is both an antiplatelet and anti-inflammatory agent that should not be forgotten. Who is armed is protected. Take care of yourself and be healthy.
