Symptoms of aortic sclerosis: In general, early-stage aortic sclerosis does not present obvious symptoms. Patients often show signs of hypertension, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia. Symptoms may appear when the disease progressively worsens in other organs or when atherosclerotic plaques rupture and thrombi form in the abdominal aorta. In addition to developing healthy lifestyle habits, actively controlling risk factors for atherosclerosis can help prevent its further progression.
