Get Alert on Atherosclerosis

    Atherosclerosis or arteriosclerotic vascular disease is caused when the arteries that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body, become narrowed and hardened due to a buildup of plaque around the artery wall. This results in the disruption of the flow of blood around the body and causes serious cardiovascular complication.

Causes
    The arteries that carry blood from the heart to the rest of the body are lined by a thin layer of cells called endothelium that helps them in smooth blood flow. When the endothelium becomes damaged, it results in the accumulation of low density lipoproteins cholesterol in the artery wall. When the body sends macrophages to clean up this cholesterol,  sometimes, these cells also get stuck at the affected site. This plaque will build up over time from cholesterol, macrophages, calcium, and other substances from the blood.
In some cases, the plaque grows to a certain size and stops growing, so that the person will not  have any problems. However, some plaque clogs up the artery and disrupts the flow of blood around the body. This results in blood clots and may lead to life-threatening conditions.
Overtime atherosclerosis may lead to the following conditions:
Angina –  a discomfort or pain occurs in the chest, when the heart muscle is not getting enough blood.
Heart attack – which causes when the fatty material breaks down and forms blood clot, it may completely block your artery and cut off the supply of blood to your heart and results in a heart attack.
Stroke - when the brain didn't get enough blood supply it may result in a mini-stroke (called a TIA).  This results in the breakage of the fatty material breaks down and the formation of blood clots,  it may completely block the artery.
Peripheral arterial disease (or PAD) – when the leg muscles didn't get enough blood, it may cause pain in your calves, hips, buttocks and thighs when walking or exercising.

How To Lose Weight Without Dieting

In this modern world where obesity has become a major concern, bariatric surgeries are becoming more common. Bariatric surgeries are concerned with obese people. The whole procedure revolves around reducing the obesity in people and thereby mitigating its side effects. When people find it difficult to accommodate time for exercise in their daily schedule, they choose the option of undergoing a gastric bypass surgery.

Generally, bariatric surgery is recommended to adults or teenagers who are very obese and have related health issues like type 2 diabetes, severe sleep apnoea, high blood pressure or high cholesterol. Also, people who have a body mass index of more than 40 or more are suggested for bariatric surgeries. It is also recommended to people who have tried other methods of reducing body mass like exercise, activities, diet, etc. but have failed to achieve any loss in weight.

Treatment:
Bariatric surgeries may be of a different kind. It might involve using an adjustable gastric band, or a gastric sleeve surgery or a gastric bypass. Very rarely, a gastro surgeon may undertake a duodenal switch surgery to accomplish the task of reducing obesity.
In case of a gastric band, the surgeon would insert a band inside your stomach with a small opening through your skin called a port. With the addition or removal of saline water into your pouch, the doctor can adjust its size. This will result in reducing your food intake as you would feel full very soon. In case of a gastric sleeve, the surgeon removes most of the stomach leaving only a small banana-shaped sleeve. This too would reduce your intake of food. The gastric bypass method involves adjusting your small intestine so as to reduce the absorption.
Bariatric surgeries have become common and a lot busier and popular now. Gastric bypass surgery in Mumbai is successfully performed by Dr. RK Sinha, the best laparoscopic and bariatric surgeon in India.
