dyslipidemia will have a great impact on our health. Hyperlipidemia is a very common type of metabolic disease in clinical practice, mainly caused by abnormal fat metabolism.
Under normal circumstances, after the body intakes fat, it will catabolize and metabolize through the gastrointestinal intestinal cavity, and is finally absorbed into the blood by the intestinal wall, and then transported to various parts of the body to meet the body's metabolic needs.
However, there are some problems with the transport of blood lipids . For example, if blood lipids cannot be fully utilized, they will be deposited in the blood vessels, which will lead to lumen stenosis and induce hyperlipidemia. If this continues in the long run, the blood vessels will become narrower and narrower, which will eventually lead to the occurrence of diseases such as hypertension and and atherosclerosis.
There are currently many related lipid-lowering drugs for the treatment of hyperlipidemia, and β-blockers are one of them. for β-receptor blockers, how does it play a lipid-lowering role? How to use this type of drug correctly? These 3 knowledge are recommended for patients to understand in advance.
1. What is the lipid-lowering mechanism of β receptor blockers?
In people's impression, β-receptor blockers are not used to lower lipids, but to lower blood pressure. So, why can beta blockers be used to regulate blood lipids? This has to start with the metabolism of blood lipids.
In the human body, the metabolism of blood lipids depends on fat metabolism. After fat is absorbed by the body, it needs to oxidize β of fat , and after downgrading, it will eventually form fatty acids to meet the needs of the human body.
Therefore, as a β receptor blocker, this type of drug can decompose and block the process of fat metabolism, and then affect other related operations, causing fatty acid metabolism to be disturbed, so that fatty acid metabolism cannot be normal. This is the pharmacological effect of β receptor blocker.
2. What is the lipid-lowering effect of β receptor blockers?
Traditional lipid-lowering drugs all affect lipid metabolism pathways, and β-receptor blockers are no exception. However, compared with other lipid-lowering drugs, the antihypertensive effect of β-receptor blockers is not inferior. For people with high blood lipids, among similar lipid-lowering drugs, if they have diseases such as hypertension, this type of drug can be given priority, because β-receptor blockers can also play a certain regulatory role in blood pressure while lowering lipids.
So, a drug can play two advantages, why not take a preferred solution? Of course, if we start from the perspective of cholesterol metabolism of , statins should be given priority, so that the right medicine can bring the greatest benefits to patients.
3. What are the contraindications for the use of β receptor blockers? Although
is a drug used to lower lipids, there are also some adverse reactions in clinical practice, which need to be taken seriously. For example, for respiratory diseases, some patients have hyperlipidemia, but they are also accompanied by asthma and . At this time, it is not recommended to use beta blocker drugs, because this type of drugs will aggravate the respiratory response and thus bring more serious respiratory problems to patients.
Not only that, everyone also needs to pay attention to the scope of application of this type of drug for people with poor heart function, and do not use it randomly.
