What are the symptoms of aortic sclerosis?
Disease description:
A few days ago, my grandfather went to the hospital for an examination and was found to have aortic sclerosis. However, he hasn't had any specific symptoms at home. I'd like to know what symptoms aortic sclerosis may cause?

Dr. Wang Mingxuan
Symptoms of aortic sclerosis include palpitations, chest tightness, shortness of breath, dyspnea, and even chest pain. Aortic sclerosis progresses slowly and is mostly asymptomatic. Similar to systemic vascular atherosclerosis, its causes are associated with risk factors such as aging, high-salt diet, and high-fat diet. When the condition flares up in patients, the vessel wall thickens and the hardened blood vessels lose elasticity.
