What Is Hyperlipidemia?
7. Stroke
It is essential that our brains are fed with a constant supply of oxygen. If they don’t get the oxygen they need then our brains won’t work as well as they should. It can even result in brain cells dying altogether. In some cases, hyperlipidemia can result in a stroke, which is a life threatening condition.
Hyperlipidemia can cause the blood vessels to narrow to a point were the flow of blood to the brain is restricted. Blood clots elsewhere in the body can also become dislodged, and then travel to the arteries feeding the brain. If you do suspect that somebody has had a stroke, you should waste no time in getting emergency medical attention for them.
