This study focuses on PWV as the main outcome, aiming to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ShenJu in treating patients with hyperlipidemia combined with carotid atherosclerosis, and provide a basis for traditional Chinese medicine treatment of hyperlipidemia combined with carotid atherosclerosis.
Hyperlipidemia is very harmful and easy to cause atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is the main factor of carotid atherosclerosis. Carotid atherosclerosis and plaque are usually the characteristic manifestations of atherosclerosis. Carotid arteriosclerosis is closely related to stroke, and carotid arteriosclerosis, rupture and detachment of carotid plaques, carotid stenosis and occlusion can all lead to the occurrence of cerebrovascular events. Early detection and evaluation of hyperlipidemia with carotid atherosclerosis by various means can effectively reduce the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In order to better serve the vast number of patients, Professor Wang Lei has developed ShenJu granules based on traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions and years of clinical experience. Compared to decoction, ShenJu granules have a higher concentration, are more convenient to carry, and are easy to absorb. They have received unanimous praise from patients in clinical applications.
