What Is Carotid Disease?
Carotid artery disease, or (CAD), is where deposits of fat or plaque are building up in the arteries. The two main carotid arteries that are in your neck carry blood to your brain. When there’s a blockage, this can cause a stroke.
Treatment Options
In the early stages of the disease, you may be unaware that it even exists. There are little to no symptoms as it develops. However, our team can help you keep an eye on this if it’s a concern for you to make sure that treatment options are in place sooner than later.
Treatments could include:
- Dietary and lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, and quitting smoking
- Medications to help with breaking up plaque
- Surgery in severe cases
If you are dealing with CAD, have concerns, or need a full physical check-up, be sure to contact the caring staff members here at Polmed Primary Care.
