Short answer
Control your cholesterol and blood lipid levels, monitor your blood pressure, stop smoking and increase physical activity. Get tested regularly to monitor your condition.
A chronic disease of the arteries, in which cholesterol plaques form on their walls, impairing blood flow.
The mechanism in three steps, and where you can intervene.
Trigger
Elevated LDL cholesterol, smoking, hypertension, diabetes
Mechanism
Deposition of lipids in the walls of blood vessels → inflammation → formation of plaques → narrowing of the lumen of the arteries
Symptom
Organ ischemia (angina, intermittent claudication, cognitive impairment)

Blood coagulation analysis
How each marker relates to atherosclerosis.
Atherosclerosis develops from a combination of several factors: high levels of “bad” cholesterol (LDL), smoking, sedentary lifestyle, hypertension and diabetes. Genetic predisposition also plays a role. The risk increases with age, especially after 45 years in men and 55 years in women.
Lipidogram is a key test for diagnosis. Additionally, it is important to monitor inflammatory markers (CRP), glucose levels and blood clotting parameters. You can upload analysis results in PDF format to Axioris - the system will automatically recognize the values and build dynamics graphs.
Consultation with a cardiologist is necessary for chest pain, shortness of breath on exertion, dizziness or high blood pressure. If the tests reveal high LDL cholesterol (above 3.0 mmol/l) or CRP, this is a reason for an in-depth examination.
Ignoring borderline cholesterol values, underestimating the importance of HDL (“good” cholesterol), lack of blood pressure control. Many people begin treatment only when symptoms appear, although prevention is more effective in the early stages.

It is difficult to completely reverse the process, but its progression can be significantly slowed through diet, physical activity and medications (statins).
After 40 years - annually. If the levels are elevated or there are risk factors - every 6 months. In Axioris, you can set reminders for repeat tests.
No, current research shows that dietary cholesterol from eggs has little effect on LDL levels. Trans fats and excess saturated fats are much more dangerous.
Oily fish (omega-3), nuts, olive oil, avocado, garlic and soluble fiber foods (oatmeal, apples).
In the Axioris application, you can upload analysis results to PDF - the system will automatically recognize the values and build visual graphs of changes for any period.
