ABSTRACT

Carotid atherosclerosis is an independent risk factor for the occurrence of ischemic stroke, posing a serious threat to human health. Although modern medicine has achieved some success in the treatment of plaque, there are problems such as large side effects and high recurrence rate. According to the characteristics of carotid atherosclerosis, this paper discusses the etiology and pathogenesis of carotid atherosclerosis in traditional Chinese medicine, and concludes that "phlegm", "blood stasis", and "toxicity" run through the development of atherosclerotic diseases, and that "phlegm", "blood stasis", and "toxicity" are always present. It is believed that "phlegm", "blood stasis" and "toxicity" run through the development of atherosclerosis, and "phlegm, blood stasis and toxicity" is the core mechanism of the disease. In clinical treatment, "resolving phlegm and expelling stasis, detoxifying and clearing the veins" should be the main focus. The prevention and treatment of carotid atherosclerosis based on the theory of "phlegm, blood stasis and toxicity inter-conjugation" provides new ideas and methods for Chinese medicine to prevent and treat carotid atherosclerosis and its complications.
