Disease Features antihyperlipidaemic and antiarteriosclerotic drugs
Absence or low individual and public risk
Antihyperlipidaemic and antiarteriosclerotic drugs - what does this mean
Antihyperlipidaemic and antiarteriosclerotic drugs work by reducing the amount of cholesterol and other fatty substances in the blood, thereby reducing the risk of atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases. these drugs inhibit the absorption of cholesterol from food in the intestine, reduce the production of cholesterol in the liver, and reduce the re-uptake of cholesterol from the bloodstream.
What happens during the disease - antihyperlipidaemic and antiarteriosclerotic drugs
Antihyperlipidaemic and antiarteriosclerotic drugs work by lowering levels of bad cholesterol (ldl) and triglycerides in the blood, and increasing levels of good cholesterol (hdl). these drugs also help reduce the risk of plaque buildup in the arteries and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. they can also reduce the risk of developing arteriosclerosis, a condition where the arteries become hardened and narrowed due to plaque buildup. furthermore, they can also reduce the risk of developing hypertension, a condition where the blood pressure is too high.

Antihyperlipidaemic and antiarteriosclerotic drugs - Prevention
Antihyperlipidaemic and antiarteriosclerotic drugs can be used to help prevent the onset of cardiovascular disease by reducing the levels of lipids in the blood. these drugs can also help to reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and other cardiovascular events by reducing inflammation and improving the functioning of the cardiovascular system.
