Patients with high total cholesterol are more prone to atherosclerotic diseases compared to normal people, while high blood lipids also tend to induce fatty liver, which can even lead to cirrhosis of the liver and liver cancer. Some patients with high blood lipids may also suffer from uncomfortable conditions such as insufficient blood supply to the cerebral arteries, dizziness, headache, numbness in the limbs, and weakness. If the patient is mainly elevated in total cholesterol, it is recommended to take oral lipid-lowering drugs of the statin class, representative drugs include atorvastatin and rasulvastatin. If the lipid cannot be lowered to the standard range by taking statin lipid-lowering drugs alone, a combination of cholesterol absorption inhibitors, such as ezetimibe, can also be taken. In addition to medication, attention should also be paid to lifestyle interventions, such as advising patients to exercise to lose weight, quit smoking, quit drinking, and eat a low-salt and low-fat diet in order to bring total cholesterol down to within the standard range.
