According to foreign media reports, US researchers said that after the first heart attack or stroke, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should closely monitor the level of "bad cholesterol" low-density lipoprotein in the blood, and continue to take lipid-lowering drugs. .
It is reported that high levels of low-density lipoprotein may cause arteriosclerosis and block blood vessels.
Researchers at the American Mountain Medical Center collected data on patients admitted to the hospital for the first time from a heart attack or stroke in 22 hospitals managed by the medical center from January 1, 1991 to December 31, 2013.
The researchers tracked and compared information from more than 60,000 patients, whose average age was 66 years, and 65% of them were men.
They found that patients who did not return to the hospital for three years after the first illness and monitored LDL had a mortality rate of 21%, while those who monitored LDL levels had a mortality rate of only 5.9%. Patients who continue to take lipid-lowering drugs statins after discharge and monitor low-density lipoprotein levels are at lower risk for events such as heart attacks, revascularization such as stenting or bypassing.
Norton, who led the study, said the study re-emphasizes the importance of taking lipid-lowering drugs in patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Continued medication not only lowers LDL levels, but also significantly reduces the risk of recurrence.
He said doctors should test low-density lipoprotein for patients when they return, and patients should communicate with doctors. (ä¸æ–°ç½‘)
