Arteritis

Arteritis is divided into two types: large vessel arteritis and necrotizing arteritis. The main type is large vessel arteritis, which is a chronic progressive non-specific inflammatory disease of the aorta, its branches, or the pulmonary arteries. The full thickness of the arterial wall shows diffuse irregular thickening and fibrosis, with thickened intima proliferating into the lumen, causing arterial stenosis and obstruction. This disease seriously endangers patients' physical and mental health. It is not very common in daily life, and many people are confused about its onset. We should understand the causes of this disease and avoid them in a timely manner.
