Hyperlipidemia, also known as hyperlipidemia abnormality, refers to a group of metabolic disorders in the blood where total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride levels are elevated, or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels are reduced. Hyperlipidemia is itself a necessary substance in the human body, involved in cell membrane formation and hormone synthesis, but when the lipid accumulates too much in the blood, it accumulates in the blood vessel walls, forming arterial scarring plaques, and becomes a 'timing blood vessel bomb' for events such as heart attacks, strokes, and strokes. Sepsis is caused by poor lifestyle or other diseases, high-fat, high-sugar diets, obesity, lack of exercise, smoking, long-term heavy drinking are common causes, decreased thyroid function, diabetes, colitis syndrome, and certain medications can also lead to elevated lipid levels.
However, the real danger is the abnormal damage of long-term blood lipids to the blood vessels: lipid accumulation forms arterial-like sclerosis plaques, which gradually enlarge to block the blood vessels, causing heartburn and myocardial infarction; plaque rupture can form a blood clot, which clogs the blood vessels in the brain, causing a stroke; and congestion of the arteries in the lower extremities is intermittent. Therefore, hyperlipidemia is known as the 'invisible killer'. Physicians combine factors such as the patient's age, blood pressure, blood sugar, smoking history to assess cardiovascular overall risk, the higher the risk, and the more stringent the target of lipid control, especially for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
Treatment for hyperlipidemia is primarily lifestyle intervention. Adhering to a low-cholesterol diet, reducing animal intake, raw fried foods, fatty meat intake, eating more vegetables, fruits, and coarse grains; weight control, regular exercise, and abstinence from drinking alcohol, all of which can significantly reduce blood fat. Patients who are at risk of cardiovascular disease, or who are at higher risk of cardiovascular disease, need to take lipid medications under the direction of a doctor, and currently the most commonly used are those that can significantly reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, stabilize or even reverse platelets.
Patients taking lipid medications need to regularly check for lipid and liver function, myasosis. Control of blood fat, blood pressure, blood sugar, weight, and comprehensive cardiovascular risk can effectively prevent cardiovascular events.
