Atheroma leh atherosclerosis hi eng nge an danglamna?

Hei hi a buaithlak deuhin a lang thei a, mahse a awlsam zawnga sawi chuan:

Atheroma chu thau tak a ni. Atherosclerosis chu chu thil chu thisen kalna kawnga a awm avanga natna lo awm a ni.

Tlemte sawifiah tur chuan atheroma chu i thisen kalna kawng tikhawlotu thau tak a ni. Hun kal zelah a pung zel a, harsatna hrang hrang a thlen thin. He atheroma (or plaque) buildup hi atherosclerosis an tih natna lan chhuahna ber a ni. Atherosclerosis i neih chuan i arteries-ah he plaque buildup hi i nei tihna a ni. He plaque hi kum tam tak chhung chu zawi zawiin a lo thang lian thei a, engmah chhinchhiahna a awm lo .

He plaque buildup hi kum sawmhnih emaw, kum sawmthum emaw vel atang khan a intan thei a, chu chu i dam chhung zawngin a chhunzawm zel a ni. Kan ei leh in, nunphung leh kan thlahtute hian a nghawng a ni. Mahse mi thenkhatah chuan he thil hi midang aiin a thleng rang zawk thin. Tin, mi thenkhat chuan an naupan laiin harsatna an nei thei bawk. Hei hi a chhan ber chu risk factors, meizuk emaw, chhungkaw history-a kum naupan lai atanga thinlung natna vei emaw vang a ni.

Atherosclerosis hian taksa peng hrang hranga thisen kal a ti tlem thei a ni. Atheroma a lo lian chhoh zel chuan arteries chhungah hmun a luah tam zawk thin. Hun a kal zel a, he plaque buildup hian hetiang dinhmun hi a thlen thei a ni:

• Aortoiliac occlusive disease (a pum leh kea thisen petu thisen kalna kawng (arteries) a block) .
• Carotid artery disease (thluak a thisen petu thisen kalna kawng a block) .
• Coronary artery disease (thinlung a thisen petu thisen kalna kawng a block) .

• Vertebral artery disease (spine nena inzawm arteries block) 1.1.

Engtin nge atheroma i nei tih i hriat theih ang? Eng nge a lan chhuah dan?

I arteries-ah plaque buildup i nei em tih hriat a harsa fo thin a, a chhan chu a tir lamah chuan symptoms a awm lo mai thei. Dik tak chuan, i thisen kalna kawng 70% tal a block hma loh chuan symptom engmah i hmu lo mai thei . Eng symptom nge i neih tih chu eng arteries nge block tih ah a innghat ang.

• Thinlung (coronary arteries)-a thisen petu thisen kalna kawng (arteries) a block a nih chuan: I active laiin rilru na emaw, nuam lo emaw i nei a, i chawlh laiin a tlahniam (`Stable angina`).

He atheroma hi vawi khat a lo awm tawh chuan a bo vek thei ang em?

Dik tak chuan, once atheroma forms , chu chu tihdanglam vek theih a ni lo. Chu chu, a hmin vek a, paih chhuah a harsa tihna a ni.

Mahse, lungngai suh! Atherosclerosis natna hi a lo zual zel theih nan thil tam tak i tih theih a ni.

Chuti a nih chuan atheroma lo awm dan control leh tihtlem nan eng nge tih theih ang?

A tlangpuiin, a hnuaia thilte hian arteries-a atheroma buildup control-naah a pui a ni:
