What Is Carotid Artery Disease? |
Carotid artery disease is a disease in which a waxy substance called plaque builds up inside the carotid arteries in either side of the neck. The common carotid arteries divide into internal carotid arteries, which supply oxygen-rich blood to your brain, and external carotid arteries, which supply oxygen-rich blood to your face, scalp, and neck. |

Hacer actividad física |
Practicar actividad física con regularidad y disminuir el estilo de vida sedentario pueden mejorar el estado físico y reducir muchos factores de riesgo de las enfermedades del corazón, entre ellos, reducir los niveles de colesterol LDL (“colesterol malo”), aumentar los niveles de colesterol HDL (“colesterol bueno”) en la sangre, controlar la presión arterial alta y ayudarle a perder el exceso de peso. |
