Atherosclerosis of the abdominal aorta should be evaluated by a cardiologist. This condition is more prevalent among middle-aged and elderly individuals. Abdominal aortic atherosclerosis is a non-inflammatory disease, and patients with hypertension or arrhythmia tend to have more severe cases. It may lead to cardiac vessel rupture and, in serious cases, can be life-threatening. It is recommended to promptly visit the cardiology department at a hospital for examination. During treatment, it is advisable to consume foods rich in high-quality protein and vitamins.
