Carotid arteriosclerosis can lead to hypertension?

Carotid atherosclerosis does not usually cause hypertension.

Carotid atherosclerosis is an atherosclerotic lesion that occurs in the carotid artery. It usually does not cause hypertension, but long-term hypertension is one of the risk factors for carotid atherosclerosis. If blood pressure is not controlled for a long time or combined with other risk factors, it is easy to promote carotid stenosis or occlusion, which will lead to transient ischemic attack, stroke and other emergencies.

It is recommended that patients closely monitor blood pressure at ordinary times. once hypertension is found, they should actively receive treatment to prevent serious disease progression.
