ʻO kou mau aʻa carotid nā kīʻaha koko ʻelua i kou ʻāʻī. Hāʻawi lākou i kou lolo a poʻo me ke koko. Inā loaʻa ʻoe i ka maʻi carotid artery, lilo nā aʻa i hāiki a papani paha, ʻo ka maʻamau ma muli o ka atherosclerosis. ʻO Atherosclerosis ke kūkulu ʻia o ka pā, kahi i hana ʻia me ka momona, kolesterol, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe i loaʻa i ke koko.

He koʻikoʻi ka maʻi o ke aʻa ʻo Carotid no ka mea hiki iā ia ke ālai i ke kahe o ke koko i kou lolo, e hahau ʻia ana. ʻO ka nui loa o nā pā i loko o ke aʻa hiki ke hana i kahi blockage.
