| Spanish abstract | La corrección de la elevación del colesterol circulante se debe iniciar con cambios en la alimentación y la actividad física, pero si esto es insuficiente, se recurre a la medicación hipocolesterolémica. Las estatinas han demostrado normalizar los niveles de colesterol total y las formas de alta y baja densidad, lo cual puede evitar accidentes vasculares y la muerte, aunque no siempre existe una correlación. Por ello se siguen desarrollando nuevas estatinas que se combinan con otros medicamentos para prevenir la enfermedad cardiovascular |
| English abstract | In order to correct the high level of cholesterol in blood is necessary to improve the life style which includes proper nutrition and physical exercise, but frequently is added some medication. The initial medication that is used is a stantin which decreases total cholesterol and low density cholesterol associated with increment in high density cholesterol in order to prevent cardiovascular involvement. It is frequent the addition of other medicaments, such as niacin or ezetemiba to achieve a greater effect on cholesterol disorders. The effectively of anti-cholesterol elevation should be evaluated by the occurrence of cardiovascular events, instead of the improvement in biochemist markers |
