The Cardiovascular System

 

When discussing the cardiovascular system, we find that there are a number of conditions that respond very well to herbal support and also a number which are most definitely not suitable for home management.

Hyperlipidaemia:

Hyperlipidaemia (High Cholesterol) is raised levels of low density lipoproteins (LDL’s) or “bad” cholesterol and triglycerides.  The levels that are considered high depend upon the risk factors that are present within the individual.  The following are generally accepted guidelines as to what are considered high levels.

LDL greater than 160 if no risk factors are present

LDL greater than 130 if two factors are present

LDL greater than 100 if post heart attack

HDL (Good cholesterol) levels should always be above 35

High cholesterol levels should always be treated early because of the serious complications that may result.
