Hypoxia is cause. If untreated a condition of anoxia may appear killing the person
calcification of the aorta inferiorly?
it means that the abdominal aorta has built up layers of calcium and hardened it.
blockage of arteries causing lack of oxygen to the brain and other organs
The aorta (largest artery in body) is normal size but has a build up of plaque on the inside of the blood vessel.
This means there is plaque in the aorta from atherosclerosis, or "hardening of the arteries." The usual causes are: smoking, diabetes, high cholesterol, diet high in saturated fats, family history of premature heart disease and age. If there is calcification in the aorta it probably means there is calcification, or at least plaque elsewhere in the body. The heart, the carotid arteries and the leg arteries. These can lead to heart attack, stroke, and peripheral artery disease, respectively.
Calcification of the non aneurysmal aorta means that a plaque like substance has built up on the artery wall. This may or may not be a serious medical problem. Only a medical professional will be able to know for sure.
The infrarenal abdominal aorta is found in the part aorta below the kidneys.Arteriosclerosis can be found in any artery wall and that wall will thickens as a result of invasion and collections of white blood cells (WBCs) and an increased number of smooth muscle cells creating a fibrofatty plaque.The accumulation of the white blood cells is termed "fatty streaks" early on because of the appearance being similar to that of marbled steak.These accumulations contain both living, active WBCs (producing inflammation), remnants of dead cells, and cholesterol and triglycerides.The plaques eventually include calcium and other crystallized materials (calcification) within the layer of the oldest plaque. It sometimes becomes entirely calcified. This makes that area very stiff. Because of that stiffness, the artery doesn't 'flex' and high blood pressure is the result.
parenchymal calcification
It is unlikely that the calcification will disappear.
From GP notebook this can be an insignificant radiographic finding in older people.
There is a great clinical significance of calcification. Calcification can lead to things like kidney stones that are very painful.
The phrase "calcification of the thoracic" is incomplete. There a missing word after "thoracic."
