Hypercholesterolemia (High Cholesterol) - CRASH! Medical Review Series 

Just what i needed 🙏

I wish you included cholesterol to HDL ratio as a value for determining the real level of hypercholesterolemia, i noticed some labs include this value to adequately assess if there is an alarming high cholesterol levels even though it may appear elevated if taken by itself but when calculated with the high level of HDL in a ration form the value becomes within normal range and no medication should be started. I hope you have inquiry about that.

I some times see patients with very high triglycerides more than thousands not controlled on fibrates wat should i do ? Ur videos are very helpfull plz keep it up

I suppose this vid is simply intended to be focused entirely on medication. I have developed the idea that high cholesterol and heart disease are closely connected to high blood sugar levels and increased insulin resistance, but not so much dietary fat. So the very first thing to do is correct the diet to reduce sugar and carbs - anything that pushes up blood sugar. Is this the best way to think about it? Thinking carefully about it, older patients with unhelpful dietary habits are unlikely/unwilling to make positive changes to their diets tho I guess.

please more and more in in fection and dm
