Tu organismo experimentar\u00e1 una reducci\u00f3n del colesterol debido a la capacidad del medicamento para inhibir algo que es necesario. Cuando el nivel de colesterol es alto, pueden formarse placas y aumentar el riesgo de enfermedades card\u00edacas, ataques card\u00edacos y accidentes cerebrovasculares. La mayor\u00eda de los pacientes que requieren estatinas son aquellos que sufren de colesterol alto, personas que ya han tenido alg\u00fan problema card\u00edaco o otras condiciones similares que implican factores de riesgo como la diabetes y la presi\u00f3n arterial alta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 podr\u00eda ser necesario tomar una estatina?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Las estatinas son una de las mejores formas de reducir los niveles de colesterol LDL y, en consecuencia, disminuir el riesgo de sufrir problemas card\u00edacos, especialmente si tiene colesterol alto. Esto se debe a que estas medicaciones ayudan a reducir el colesterol que se acumula en las paredes de las arterias, evitando as\u00ed los bloqueos que podr\u00edan causar ataques card\u00edacos o accidentes cerebrovasculares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Beneficios de las estatinas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cuando se toman regularmente, las estatinas reducen el colesterol LDL, lo que reduce el riesgo de enfermedades cardiovasculares.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pueden producirse co\u00e1gulos sangu\u00edneos cuando la placa en las arterias se rompe; las satinas ayudan a evitar que esto ocurra.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Las estatinas tambi\u00e9n reducen la inflamaci\u00f3n vascular como una protecci\u00f3n adicional contra los eventos cardiovasculares.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Riesgos y efectos secundarios<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>En general, las estatinas se toleran bien; sin embargo, algunos pacientes pueden presentar los siguientes efectos secundarios:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Dolor muscular\/debilidad: <\/strong>Este es uno de los efectos adversos m\u00e1s comunes, pero generalmente mejora con el ajuste de la titulaci\u00f3n.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Da\u00f1o hep\u00e1tico<\/strong>Este es un problema muy raro con los estatinas, por lo que se controlar\u00e1n las enzimas hep\u00e1ticas mediante an\u00e1lisis de sangre.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mayor nivel de az\u00facar en la sangre<\/strong>El uso de estatinas puede aumentar el nivel de az\u00facar en la sangre, lo que podr\u00eda ser un problema si usted tiene diabetes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Las estatinas son extremadamente importantes para las personas con colesterol alto que intentan evitar las enfermedades card\u00edacas. Si tiene alguna preocupaci\u00f3n o efectos secundarios relacionados con las estatinas, es una buena idea consultar con su m\u00e9dico sobre la posibilidad de ajustar la dosis o cambiar sus medicamentos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Medicamentos para el colesterol alto | Manhattan Cardiology\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OmXo3jGoTz8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Un estatinico es un medicamento que reduce la cantidad de colesterol en la sangre.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":14995,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[125],"tags":[361,563],"class_list":["post-14992","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","tag-heart-attach","tag-statins"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What Is a Statin?
