Carotid Artery Disease Treatment in Rogers, Arkansas
What is Carotid Artery Disease?
Carotids are the arteries found in your neck that supply blood flow to your brain
Plaque can develop in these neck arteries from build-up of calcium, cholesterol, and fatty substances.
Causes of Carotid Artery Disease
Several different risk factors can lead to plaque build-up in the carotids, which is the most common cause of CAD
In rare instances, inflammation of the walls of the arteries may cause narrowing. However, the main risk factors that lead to carotid artery disease are smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol.
Symptoms of Carotid Artery Disease
Unfortunately, most people won't notice signs of carotid artery disease until after a stroke happens
It's worth noting that in infrequent cases, some patients may hear ringing in their ears or actually faint due to the lack of blood flow to the brain stemming from the blockage.
