When hypertensive patients visit a specialist, doctors will ask to check their blood lipids, which many people do not understand. Then let’s take a look at why hypertensive patients should be concerned about lipids: According to statistics, there are as many as 37 million patients with hypertension combined with dyslipidemia in people over 35 years old in China. Blood pressure and blood lipids will affect each other, and high blood lipids can aggravate hypertension, first of all, because of the increase of blood lipids, too much lipid into the blood vessel wall to form atherosclerosis, and then block the blood vessels, so that the narrowing of the lumen of the blood vessels, blood flow resistance increases, and blood pressure rises. I met many patients with persistent hypertension in the clinic, which is accompanied by high blood lipids, lowering blood pressure and lowering blood lipids at the same time, blood pressure quickly stabilized to normal values. Secondly, the increased pressure of blood flow during hypertension hits and tears the inner lining of blood vessels, causing them to break down, creating conditions for lipids to enter the walls of blood vessels and aggravating atherosclerosis. Therefore, it is more dangerous to increase blood pressure and blood lipid at the same time. Patients with hypertension who have high blood pressure and lipids must lower their blood pressure and lipids at the same time. Please see the chart
