Dr. Carlos:
Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death worldwide, in this video, We are going to talk about What are Statins and How do They Work? The #1 Best Remedy to Prevent a Heart Attack, statins are a class of drugs commonly used to manage high cholesterol levels and prevent heart attacks and strokes. As a healthcare provider, I understand that taking statins can be a scary and overwhelming experience for many patients, but I want to assure you that these drugs are safe and effective when used appropriately.

Statins work by blocking an enzyme in the liver that produces cholesterol, resulting in a decrease in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels in the bloodstream. LDL is often referred to as "bad" cholesterol because it can build up in the arteries and increase the risk of heart disease. On the other hand, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, also known as "good" cholesterol, helps remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream and protects against heart disease.

Statin Side Effects | Atorvastatin, Rosuvastatin: While statins are generally well-tolerated, some patients may experience muscle cramps or liver alterations. In rare cases, gastrointestinal symptoms may also occur. It is important to work closely with your healthcare provider to find the right dose of statins for your individual needs and to discuss any side effects you may experience.

It is also important to note that statins should be taken as prescribed and for the recommended duration of therapy. Patients should not stop taking statins without first consulting their healthcare provider, as abruptly discontinuing the medication can lead to serious health consequences.

Patients should also be aware that excessive alcohol consumption may interact with statins and increase the risk of liver damage. Additionally, pregnant women should not take statins, as these drugs can cause harm to developing fetuses.

Finally, while there have been some concerns about the long-term safety of statins, studies have consistently shown that the benefits of these drugs far outweigh any potential risks. Statins do not cause cancer or addiction, and they are not useless. They are a valuable tool in the fight against heart disease and can help improve the quality and length of life for many patients.

Dr. Carlos Jaramillo publishes these videos for educational purposes but they do not represent any therapeutic recommendation for any person so the follow-up of their indications is the individual responsibility and not the responsibility of the creator of the content.

Always remember that in Functional Medicine the origin of the disease is sought and the symptoms are not treated.
