Arterio-what? The
arteriosclerosis obliterans, often poorly pronounced and confused by the common people, is the formation of cholesterol - that is, platelet and fibrin all substances in the arterial walls that ultimately, if neglected, lead to the hardening of the arteries and therefore blocked blood (blood) movement plates.
The following are the factors that may cause or influence a buildup of plaque in arteries: or hereditary factors. If your family has a history of heart attacks, which can be prone to have one.
Or males. Women are less likely to have because their hormones offer a certain degree of protection.
Smoking or and high blood pressure.
or high levels of cholesterol in the blood. You must always have as a preventive measure not only for atherosclerosis, but also for other diseases caused by high levels of cholesterol in the blood cholesterol levels.
These factors cause the deposition of the cholesterol that boards and platelets in the arterial wall. Accumulation can sometimes be gradual, but there is still a possibility of accumulation can increase and block or affect opening up close.
Knowing such, is very important and we recommend that you strictly a person that has atherosclerosis follow a strict diet low in cholesterol. Smoking is also prohibited and must be stopped immediately once a person is diagnosed with the disease.
Always have your blood pressure and cholesterol, especially if there has been a series of heart attacks in his family. Your blood pressure monitoring helps you detect more easily if you are prone to it and therefore taken earlier preventive measures to avoid possible complications.

Special attention and extra precaution should be given if the person with atherosclerosis also suffers from diabetes, as it tends to progress faster than usual in diabetic patients.
Blocking arteries, if you have the atherosclerosis can occur almost anywhere in the body, but it is more common in the legs. Once the hardening becomes severe, causes extreme pain due to an insufficient supply of blood.
It can be relieved by rest and is exacerbated by the continuous activity. If the pain is still terribly this even when the person is at rest, this means that the problem can be serious and is not treated, can cause the amputation of limbs to be the only treatment available left.
advanced stages are cold, overexposed, pale members and it has sores everywhere. The infection becomes the only way to help save the life of the patient is cutting off or leg amputation. It is a little weird that other parts of the body to be affected without involved legs, and those whose legs are affected have much likely to suffer heart, kidney disease and artery blockage and stroke.
Love means to take care of you. You have the responsibility to do the best for your body and not abusing it, to not suffer terribly painful consequences at the end.
