Left Common Carotid Artery Bulb IMT

Question

Asked for Male, 34 Years

My scan shows a 1.3 mm thickness increase IMT in my left carotid bulb, does this significantly increase my stroke risk, and is such thickening reversible? I’ve been prescribed Rozavel EZ (Rosuvastatin + Ezetimibe)—is this the correct medication for this condition, and what lifestyle changes should I prioritize? Please advise on the best way to manage this.
