What is High Cholesterol?

Cholesterol level is a vital aspect of your overall heart health, it is not just a measurement on a test result. Your blood contains an element of fat called cholesterol, which is crucial for many processes in the body.

When there are excessive levels of this fat, it can cause health problems. High cholesterol levels may be a component in the growth of fatty deposits within your arteries. This hinders blood flow and simply increases your likelihood of developing conditions like heart disease, and stroke. Controlling high cholesterol is essential for lowering these risks and boosting your heart health.

Types of Cholesterol

A person's body can be tested for either low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL), which are the two different types of cholesterol. What differentiates the two types is that HDL helps eliminate cholesterol from the bloodstream while LDL pushes cholesterol to the body. Because of these attributes, HDL is tagged as "good" and LDL as "bad".

Due to the formation of fatty deposits in the blood vessels, people with high LDL levels are more susceptible to severe health conditions like heart attacks and strokes. Blood circulation between the vessels is inevitably obstructed by these deposits, making it hard for the blood to go through the body to its destination.

What is the normal cholesterol range?

Individuals should focus on keeping their cholesterol levels in check. The distinctive range of cholesterol levels below are worth noting:

LDL cholesterol range: 130 mg/dL or less
HDL cholesterol range: 60 and above
Total cholesterol level: 200 mg or less

Individuals whose cholesterol level falls outside the recommended cholesterol levels range listed above are not at all unusual. After all, there are various techniques to manage cholesterol levels, which include sticking to a nutritious diet, engaging in regular exercise, and possibly using medications to lessen cholesterol levels in the body.

High Cholesterol Treatment at Macie Medical

High Cholesterol treatment is construed more as a lifelong course of medication towards the symptoms, thereby adopting other approved natural ways of lowering the LDL while increasing the HDL. Our physicians prescribe medications, which include:

Statins
Cholesterol absorbing inhibitors
Bile-acid-binding resins
PCSK9 inhibitors to block proprotein convertase subtilisin/Kexin type 9

Fibrates are much less often used than statin drugs to help bring your cholesterol levels down. Oddly enough, close to 30% of the population of the United States take at least one statin. For your triglycerides, our doctor may consider giving you fibrates, niacin or omega 3 fatty acid supplement. Hence, metabolic syndrome treatment mainly focuses on the treatment of cholesterol, blood pressure, and glucose.
