Carotid thickening can be restored?

Carotid artery thickening can be recovered depending on the degree and cause of thickening. In general, early, mild carotid artery thickening may be improved to some extent by lifestyle changes and drug treatment, but the possibility of complete recovery is small. Severe, long-term carotid artery thickening is difficult to reverse. Carotid artery thickening is mainly caused by atherosclerosis, which is a chronic, progressive disease, and hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes and other factors. Therefore, to prevent and treat carotid artery thickening, it is necessary to comprehensively control these risk factors, maintain a healthy lifestyle, such as smoking cessation, alcohol restriction, low-fat diet, moderate exercise, etc., and take drug treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
