The Intricate Relationship between Hyperlipidemia & Heart Health

The Intricate Relationship between Hyperlipidemia & Heart Health

Hyperlipidemia is an umbrella term for acquired and genetic conditions that cause increased lipid (triglyceride, fats, cholesterol) levels. Hypercholesterolemia, on the other hand, is a subtype of hyperlipidemia with HDL (good cholesterol) levels below 60 mg/dL.?

In individuals with hypercholesterolemia, diagnostic tests illustrate above-normal levels of LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) or total cholesterol (over 190 mg/dL in adults). As a result of increased lipid content, mainly bad cholesterol (LDL) acting as the real culprit, both conditions contribute to the development of cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, heart attack, and stroke.?

Some other symptoms suggestive of abnormal fat accumulation in the body are xanthomas, xanthelasmas, headache, chest pain, shortness of breath, etc. Depending on the severity of the disease, a comprehensive management plan involving lifestyle modifications and conventional treatment is vital to alleviate the risk of heart complications.
