Mild cerebral atherosclerosis serious?

Mild cerebral atherosclerosis

is a disease caused by lipid deposition and intimal damage to the wall of the cerebral artery, resulting in stenosis or occlusion of the vascular lumen. It is more common in people with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes and other basic diseases. Generally speaking, if patients actively control the primary disease, and timely adjust lifestyle, improve eating habits, can slow down the damage to the cerebral artery, delay the development of the disease, usually not serious. However, if the indicators such as blood pressure, blood lipid or blood sugar are not well controlled for a long time, and the patient does not pay attention to restraining himself, cerebral atherosclerosis may gradually worsen. With the increase of atherosclerotic plaques, when they fall off and block blood vessels, they can cause cerebral infarction, which is more serious.
