Dyslipidemia it's the fat disorder gifts in the blood, which can be the cholesterol, triglycerides or both.
The presence of a high amount of these fats in the blood represents a risk for cardiovascular disease (acute myocardial infarction, stroke, etc.). The fat present in the food we eat is absorbed by the intestines and transported to the blood. When our diet has a lot of fat, the body is not able to absorb and eliminate enough and a part of that fat accumulates in the arteries. With the excess fat accumulated in the arteries, the blood flow can be stopped partially or totally, preventing the supply of necessary nutrients for that tissue and causing damages of the functions.
THE dyslipidemia does not cause specific symptoms, but it can significantly increase the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, especially diseases of the coronary arteries of the heart. In these diseases, the main symptoms are chest pain that can radiate to the left arm, shortness of breath, nausea and vomiting, sweating, rapid heartbeat and fainting.
