Lipid control blood pressure can reduce 80 percent of coronary events

University of California study, patients with metabolic syndrome through blood lipids and (or) the normal level of blood pressure control or optimal level, can significantly reduce the incidence of coronary heart disease. If the blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were in control of the optimal level, the incidence of coronary events will be reduced over 80 percent.

Metabolic syndrome is the occurrence of coronary heart disease risk factors. In the United States, there are about 47 million people suffering from metabolic syndrome (including diabetes), adults over the age of 20, 22 percent of men and 24 percent of women suffering from the disease, with the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke Increased three times, five times the increase in cardiovascular mortality.

Researchers from the United States to participate in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, the study subjects were 30 to 74-year-old, identified a total of 1,513 cases of patients with metabolic syndrome, to investigate and assess these patients. Will be calculated blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol control to a normal level or the desired level to reduce the number of cardiovascular events.

The results showed that 30 to 74 years in the 7.5 million men and 9 million women in patients with metabolic syndrome, if not control blood pressure, cholesterol, 10 years respectively, will have about 1.5 million men and 450,000 women in coronary events. If the blood pressure control in the normal level, male and female incidence of coronary heart disease will be reduced by 28.1%, 12.5%; if the optimal level of control were reduced 28.2 percent, 45.2 percent. If the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level of control in normal men and the incidence of coronary events will be reduced 25.3 percent, while women decreased 27.3 percent; if the optimal level of control, the incidence of coronary events were reduced 51.2 percent, 50.6 percent. If the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level of control in normal men and the incidence of coronary events will be reduced 9.3 percent, while women decreased 9.8 percent; if the optimal level of control, coronary events were reduced 46.2%, 38.1%.

If the three risk factors are controlled at normal levels, to bring in male patients with coronary events to reduce the incidence of 51.3 per cent, 42.6 per cent female patients with lower if both the optimal level of control, men and women coronary event rates were 80.5 percent lower And 82.1 percent.
