Uncle Li, who has always been in good health, was sent to the hospital after a sudden myocardial infarction. After emergency rescue, although his life was saved, his quality of life was seriously deteriorated. On examination after admission, he had hyperlipidemia.
“Cases like this are common in treatment.” Professor Liao Xinxue, Department of Cardiology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, said that hyperlipidemia is a manifestation of abnormal blood lipid metabolism. Elevated blood lipids themselves do not cause symptoms, and many patients do not pay attention. However, excessive lipids will gradually deposit on the blood vessel wall, causing hardening or even blockage of the arteries, leading to serious cardiovascular disease.
