High LDL cholesterol is a condition that generally requires special attention in cardiovascular diseases, because high LDL cholesterol means that the patient is prone to atherosclerotic disease. If this indicator is elevated, you can start with lifestyle interventions, such as advising patients to pay attention to a low-salt and low-fat diet, quit smoking and drinking, exercise and lose weight, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, which will help to better reduce LDL cholesterol. In the case of elderly patients or people with cardiovascular disease, even if the blood lipids, such as LDL, are not high, it is recommended to routinely take oral statins, such as Rosuvastatin and Pravastatin. Because statins can not only lower LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol, but also help to raise HDL, and have a secondary prevention effect of preventing the progression of atherosclerosis.
