Hyperlipidemia refers to elevated fats in the blood, which can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes.

Treatment Overview:

1. Lifestyle Modifications: Adopting a heart-healthy diet low in saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol is essential. Incorporating more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, along with regular exercise and weight management, can help lower lipid levels.
2. Medications: Depending on individual lipid profiles and cardiovascular risk factors, medications may be prescribed to manage hyperlipidemia. These may include statins, which are effective in lowering LDL cholesterol (“bad” cholesterol), as well as other medications like fibrates, bile acid sequestrants, niacin, and PCSK9 inhibitors.
3. Monitoring and Follow-Up: Regular blood tests to monitor lipid levels and assess treatment effectiveness are crucial. Adjustments to treatment plans may be made based on these results and individual response to medications.
