The risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with three highs is 1.43 to 1.78 times that of ordinary people. According to the investigation by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the rate of hyperlipid control in Taiwanese people over the age of 18 is as high as 26%, and the rate of blood lipid control in patients with high risk is only about two%. The doctor pointed out that the public often mistakes the myths in Xinfang, believing that eating health foods such as fish oil and red koji can lower blood lipids, but instead ignores standard treatment and calls on the public to follow the doctor and take medicine regularly.

The status of hyperlipidemia is unknown. Is afraid of Chinese wind and myocardial infarction

Liu Yanbin, chairman of the Taiwan Medical Association of Motion Sclerosis and Vascular Diseases, pointed out that the "hyperlipidemia" that is particularly worthy of attention in the three highs. Because their symptoms are unknown and difficult to measure by themselves, it causes difficulties in disease prevention and treatment.

{Gao Xingli, director of the Cardiovascular Center of National Taiwan University Hospital, said that the number of low-density cervical sterol (LDL-C) is the main risk factor for cardiovascular disease. With the westernization of diet and changes in lifestyle, more and more people are facing too high cervical sterol, which also increases risks such as vascular obstruction, media and myocardial infarction.

Gao Xingli pointed out that in terms of LDL-C treatment guidelines, there are currently multiple sets of guidelines internationally. Taiwan has connected with the international community to set the treatment target for high-risk patients to be less than 55mg/dL, and the lower the better, the lower the better. There is no need to set a lower limit. However, the domestic public has myths that believe that using medicine to control blood lipids will aggravate the risks of dementia, brain wind and other risks, and instead use health foods without scientific evidence.

Understand the numerical sterol value

1. Total numerical sterol (T. Chol)

2. High-density numerical sterol lipoprotein (HDL-C) male > 40 mg/dl; female > 50 mg/dL

3. Low-density numerical sterol lipoprotein (LDL-C)

4. Triglyceride (TG)

The most important indicator is "LDL", because it is the original source of atherosclerosis.
