Hyperlipidemia is a common cardiovascular disease in which the amount of cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL cholesterol in the blood is too high, and the amount of HDL cholesterol is too low. It is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
At present, hyperlipidemia has become one of the most common chronic diseases in the world. According to statistics, more than 200 million people in the world suffer from hyperlipidemia, mainly in developed countries and urban populations.
So what is the relationship between hyperlipidemia and cardiovascular disease? Hyperlipidemia can lead to atherosclerosis, in which the endothelial cells in the blood vessel wall that "protect" the lining are damaged, and high levels of cholesterol in the blood are deposited on the blood vessel lining and thicken over time, eventually leading to narrowing or blockage of the blood vessels. And this is the main cause of cardiovascular disease.
In addition, hyperlipidemia causes excessive blood accumulation in the blood vessels, increasing the burden on the heart, leading to arrhythmia and myocardial ischemia and other diseases. At the same time, hyperlipidemia can also affect blood viscosity and increase the risk of thrombosis, which can lead to serious consequences such as stroke or myocardial infarction.
Therefore, for people who already suffer from hyperlipidemia or are prone to hyperlipidemia, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a reasonable diet, appropriate exercise, and regular lipid testing. At the same time, drug treatment can also be used to reduce cholesterol levels and control the development of hyperlipidemia.
In short, hyperlipidemia and cardiovascular diseases are inseparable, and we must pay close attention and be vigilant. Only by doing a good job of prevention and treatment can we protect our health. #头条创作挑战赛#
