Interventions for whether or not to take medication for LDL 3.2 mmol/L vary depending on the situation. Some mild patients do not need medication, while high-risk patients need medication.
The ideal value for LDL is less than 2.6 mmol/L. The first measurement of dyslipidemia should be reviewed in 2 to 4 weeks, and if still abnormal, dyslipidemia is diagnosed. Intervention strategies for dyslipidemia need to be based on an assessment of the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk level of low-risk, intermediate-risk patients, LDL standardized value of less than 3.4 mmol / L, patients with LDL 3.2 mmol / L, can be free of drug treatment; high-risk patients with LDL standardized value of less than 2.6 mmol / L, need to be actively carried out the treatment; very high-risk patients with LDL standardized value of less than 1.8 mmol / L LDL values less than 1.8 mmol/L in very high-risk patients also require treatment.
Dyslipidemia should adhere to lifestyle interventions, controlling diet, increasing exercise, quitting smoking, limiting alcohol, limiting salt and so on. Medication includes statins, such as atorvastatin and other drugs. For detailed information, please consult a medical professional.
