Hypertension and Arteriosclerosis

Hypertension and Arteriosclerosis

Question: Can you treat my father? But we’re in Guangdong, and he’s quite elderly, so traveling would be difficult. Would it be okay if I sent you his medical records and you prescribed the medication?

Answer: For hypertension and arteriosclerosis, the best approach is still to lower blood pressure, reduce lipids, and decrease blood viscosity. Without this basic treatment, if you discover atherosclerotic embolism (affecting the heart, brain, or kidneys) and then proceed with stent placement, that’s only treating the symptoms, not the root cause. From my experience, this kind of symptomatic treatment can actually accelerate the progression of atherosclerosis, pushing conventional therapy to an even higher level.
