Lipid-lowering
Dyslipidemia refers to an abnormal level of lipids (fats) in the blood, including high total cholesterol, high low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high triglycerides, or low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. These imbalances are significant risk factors for cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, heart attack, and stroke. Lipid-lowering strategies, encompassing lifestyle modifications and pharmacotherapy, aim to normalize lipid profiles and reduce associated health risks.
