Carotid artery disease is a condition in which the main blood vessels in the neck become narrowed because of a buildup of cholesterol. Narrowing of the carotid arteries can cause serious health problems, such as deterioration of brain tissue and stroke, as a result of less oxygen getting to the brain.

Symptoms of Carotid Artery Disease

In many cases, there are no symptoms of carotid artery disease until the condition has severely narrowed or blocked an artery, which could lead to a stroke. Your doctor may discover the condition during an exam using a stethoscope or during a vascular ultrasound.

Causes of Carotid Artery Disease

A buildup over time of fatty plaque in the walls of your arteries can lead to the development of carotid artery disease.

The following factors increase your risk for having carotid artery disease:

Age (risk increases with age because the disease can take several decades to develop)
High blood pressure (hypertension)
High cholesterol levels
Lack of exercise
Persistently high blood sugar levels
Poor diet
Sedentary lifestyle
Smoking
