A member asked:
I was told i have small hemogen plaques in my carotid. im 41. what age do plaques begin to show up in arteries.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lifestyle choices: Plaques form in the carotid in the following manner. Fatty streaks appear, followed by formation of atherosclerosis (Cholesterol plaques). These plaques can then rupture leading to stroke and other disease. Fatty streaks have been routinely found in the autopsies of young soldiers, plaques later. To slow progression you should watch your BP, stay active, and have your cholesterol checked.
