These two indicators are high when blood tests, heart disease may not be far from you.

Everyone is familiar with the term "myocardial infarction" because it is very common nowadays. Many people also know that myocardial infarction is a very dangerous disease, but what is myocardial infarction? Why is a heart attack?

These two indicators are high when blood tests, heart disease may not be far from you.

In fact, myocardial infarction is a type of atherosclerosis and is the most serious type. Myocardial infarction is caused by a sudden blockage of the blood vessels supplying the heart blood, resulting in ischemia and hypoxia in the blood supply area, which causes abnormal cardiac function, myocardial ischemia and necrosis, and sometimes causes ischemia and hypoxia of the brain due to insufficient pumping.

Myocardial infarction is a largely dead factor worldwide. There are many causes of cardiovascular occlusion, such as obesity, smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc., all of which are risk factors, but clinical evidence suggests that abnormal lipid metabolism is the most important of all risk factors.

In medical history, people have realized that blood lipids are closely related to atherosclerotic diseases as early as more than 100 years ago. With the research and exploration of human beings, the understanding of blood lipids has been deepened, and it is found that the abnormality of lipid metabolism has a great impact on atherosclerotic diseases, and the standard of blood lipids is gradually stricter.


As early as the 1980s, the high limit of low-density lipoprotein was 230 mg/dl, and it was later required to gradually increase. It is now generally considered that low-density lipoprotein is more than 160 mg/dl.


Although dyslipidemia has been widely concerned, but it really happens to our people, although it is known to be serious, but it can't be seen or touched. Usually there will be no uncomfortable. If there is no routine medical check-up, many people will I don't know if my blood lipids are a problem.

Therefore, abnormal blood lipids are called "silent killers" by doctors. It does not have many signs and special clinical symptoms. Once symptoms are produced, it can cause serious consequences, such as vascular blockage.

To determine whether blood lipids are abnormal, the most direct means is to take venous blood tests. There are four main indicators of blood lipids: total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides.

Among these four indicators, total cholesterol includes low-density, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, of which 70% is low-density and 30% is high-density. But the opposite effect of the two, high-density lipoprotein can resist atherosclerosis, is a "vascular scavenger", and low-density lipoprotein is positively correlated with the incidence of coronary heart disease. The increase in triglycerides is also an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease.

Therefore, we should pay attention to low-density lipoprotein and triglyceride when we look at the indicators. If the two are higher than normal, we should pay attention to it. If necessary, we should take lipid-lowering drugs to control.

In addition to drugs, we can also reduce cholesterol intake, increase metabolism, and help blood lipids return to normal by exercising and controlling diet. Here to remind you that people over the age of 35, it is best to have regular physical examination every year, help to detect dyslipidemia in time, eliminate risk factors and protect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular.
