Statin generally refers to statins, which are used to treat hyperlipidemia. Patients with LDL 4.0 can be exempted from statins if they return to normal through exercise and dietary adjustments, but they need to take medication if exercise and dietary adjustments do not return them to normal or if they are comorbid with atherosclerosis and other diseases.
LDL 4.0 indicates that the patient has hyperlipidemia, if the patient can control the blood lipids at normal level by reducing the intake of cholesterol in the diet and increasing exercise, the probability of the patient suffering from atherosclerosis will be reduced, so there is no need to take medication to lower lipids. On the other hand, if diet and exercise cannot control blood lipids or if the patient has already suffered from atherosclerosis, he/she will need to take medication.
Patients with high LDL should pay attention to controlling cholesterol intake and adhere to a low-salt, low-fat diet. At the same time, they should promote the excretion of cholesterol, and carry out appropriate physical exercise to consume cholesterol.
If there is elevated blood lipid, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time to avoid delaying the condition.
