There are diseases and disorders prevailing in the market and they are ones which have to stop or rather prevented with our awareness. There is one of the diseases, which is known as Arteriosclerosis (l'artriosclrose) which is a heart disease. Basically what happens in this is that the arteries get thickened and the cholesterol gets deposited on the inner lining of the arteries. So due to this the arteries become inelastic and they also become narrow, ultimately the strain on the heart increases and there are chances of heart attack (crise cardiaque). This is not as simple as it appears to be written here, it is a very chronic condition and is categorized by the formation of cholesterol, fibrin, platelets etc on the arterial walls. So this will slow down the blood circulation or even block the circulation of blood and this can be a very chronic situation indeed. There are many reasons due to which this situation occurs in our arteries, like due to hypertension, diabetes, aging etc and some other conditions too. There are many symptoms of Arteriosclerosis and some of them are listed below:
Some common symptoms are as follows:
There is a Chest Pain and this happens if the coronary arteries are involved, then the patient may or will have sharp chest pain which is a characteristic of angina pectoris.
The prevalence of High Blood Pressure and this happens when the arteries leading to the kidneys are involved. If this is the case then patient suffers from high blood pressure plus kidney disorders.
There can also be a Leg pain when there is an involvement of a leg artery.
The most chronic symptom is a Brain Hemorrhage and this generally happens when the arteries leading to the brain are involved in the case. What really happens that the vessel may burst hence causing hemorrhage in the tissues of the Brain.
So life is very short and you never know what you actually are suffering from. So that is the reason why the doctors recommend a very healthy diet plan and a very healthy lifestyle with regular exercises and activities which keep you healthy and charged up. They don't say that you should perfectly avoid all the foods which have fats contents but they say you should consume them in proper quantities and not excessive quantities.
