Antihypertensive treatment is recommended to treat hypertension by lowering blood pressure below 140/90 mmHg . Statins with or without LDL-lowering therapy and bile acid sequestrants or niacin are used to treat hyperlipidemia by lowering LDL cholesterol below 100 mg/dL . Physical activity,glucose-lowering medications,dieting,and a statin-type lipid-lowering medication are used to treat diabetes mellitus by lowering glucose levels and reducing LDL levels to around or below 70 mg/dL . It is recommended that patients diagnosed with vertebral artery stenosis due to atherosclerosis or mechanical compression of the vertebral artery be placed on antiplatelet medications such as aspirin,aspirin with modified-release dipyridamole,clopidogrel,or ticlopidine to prevent strokes,myocardial infarctions,and transient ischemic attacks .
