Arteriosclerosis treatment in Coyoacán

Arteriosclerosis is the hardening and loss of elasticity of the artery walls, a process that can hinder the normal passage of blood. It develops gradually and often causes no symptoms in its early stages.

Contributing factors: age, high blood pressure, smoking, high cholesterol levels, and other lifestyle habits.

When to see a doctor? An evaluation is advisable when risk factors are present or when symptoms appear, such as leg pain when walking or chest discomfort.

Which specialist treats it? The angiologist and the vascular surgeon evaluate the health of the arteries, with the support of the internist; a general practitioner can guide the first step. Managing risk factors and reviewing them in time with a professional is a good way to protect your circulation over the long term.
