Aortic sclerosis is generally caused by poor daily lifestyle habits. In some patients, hypertension can lead to aortic sclerosis. When blood vessels remain under high pressure for prolonged periods, the impact of blood flow on the vessel walls increases, which can easily result in plaque formation and arterial hardening. In daily life, one should reduce the risk factors for atherosclerosis. If aortic sclerosis is detected, prompt formal treatment should be sought.
