All good outcome. And just in time.
Atherosclerosis that has radiated up in the arteries to the brain (the carotids) are vulnerable to “peeling” off and then pushed up into the brain for a vascular stroke. Hope they have checked your coronary arteries that supply the heart, first, with oxygenated blood. The “crown” of the corona arteries are supplied first out of the heart from the aorta. The atorvastatin should really help reduce the amount of LDL that can get into an artery lesion and make it susceptible to breaking off. Glad they caught all this.
You are Blessed!
Very blessed. And like I said, have a primary, a nurse practitioner, that actually cares. I left a message for him yesterday giving him an atta boy.
