What is the link between cardiovascular disease and cholesterol? Regular checkups are essential to staying alive!
Many young celebrities have died unexpectedly from cardiovascular disease in recent years, raising public concern. Atherosclerosis is the main risk factor!
This disease is caused by the narrowing of blood vessel diameters due to plaque buildup. Once the plaque ruptures, thrombosis can occur, resulting in obstructed blood flow, and cholesterol plays an important role in plaque formation.
Human blood vessels are located throughout the body. Attending physician Dr. Chen Chun-Chang of Division of Cardiology, Fu Jen Catholic University Hospital reminds everyone that myocardial infarction, stroke, arterial obstruction in the lower extremities, renal blood vessel obstruction, and other renal diseases may be linked to high cholesterol.
Many people believe that chubbier people have higher cholesterol, but those with elevated cholesterol levels do not necessarily have a fat physique, and long-term vegetarianism may result in high cholesterol test results. As a result, only regular testing allows for early treatment.
