Did you know that dyslipidemia is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD)?
Dyslipidemia occurs when there is an imbalance of fats (lipids) in the blood, including:
🔴 High LDL ("bad") cholesterol
🟠 High triglycerides
🟢 Low HDL ("good") cholesterol
Over time, these abnormal lipid levels can cause fatty plaque to build up in your arteries (atherosclerosis), increasing your risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases.
💡 Here's an important fact:
Studies have shown that every 1 mmol/L reduction in LDL cholesterol can reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events by approximately 22%. This highlights the importance of early detection and proper cholesterol management.
❤️ Healthy lipid levels = A healthier heart.
Take charge of your heart health by having your cholesterol checked regularly and discussing your cardiovascular risk with your healthcare professional.
