For mild dyslipidemia, lipid-lowering treatment can be carried out through dietary adjustments and lifestyle improvements without the need for medication; for severe conditions, medication is required.
Abnormal elevation of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides in the human body can be called hyperlipidemia. The main danger of hyperlipidemia is to increase the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and increase the risk of cardiovascular death. Therefore, timely and effective treatment of hyperlipidemia is needed.
Hyperlipidemia is closely related to diet and lifestyle, and dietary adjustment and lifestyle improvement are the basic measures for dyslipidemia treatment. For mild hyperlipidemia, dietary control and lifestyle modification can be adhered to, including adhering to a light and healthy diet, regular exercise, staying away from tobacco and alcohol, and maintaining an ideal body weight.
For severe hyperlipidemia or hyperlipidemia patients with high risk factors for cardiovascular disease, they need to seek timely medical attention and treatment with medication to avoid delays.
