A member asked:
2016 my husband had 2 widow makers and pulled through, he went today because his blood pressure started staying up again,the doctor listened to his abdominal area and stated that he could hear his arteries hardening, what is that supposed to mean?!!!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No clue: Probably the doctor wanted to describe atherosclerosis, hardening of blood vessels, at any rate , his blood pressure needs attention, stop smoking if he is , watch diet, check lipid profile, take lipid lowering medications / other medications as prescribed, walk / exercise if possible, see his cardiologist too for assessment, wish you and your husband wellness
