Low LDL is generally good for reducing the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, but the lipid content is necessary for cellular metabolism, so it can not be unlimitedly low.
Higher LDL can cause atherosclerosis, one of the risk factors for cardiovascular disease, so lower LDL is better, but the lipid content is necessary for cellular metabolism, so it cannot be low indefinitely.
Lipid management goals are different for different populations. Generally speaking, LDL in normal populations is less than 3.37 mmol/L; for those with cardiovascular risk, such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity, LDL cholesterol needs to be controlled at 2.6 mmol/L or less. People with high risk of angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, stroke, etc. need to be controlled below 1.8mmol/L. If the patient has low LDL, the LDL cholesterol should be controlled below 2.6mmol/L.
If the patient has low LDL, it is recommended to consult the cardiology department of the hospital in a timely manner, evaluate the patient’s condition, and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
