Es posible que su profesional de la salud le recomiende tomar una estatina para controlar los niveles de colesterol si lo tiene alto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El colesterol es una sustancia cerosa y pegajosa que se encuentra en la sangre y que el h\u00edgado produce para ayudar al organismo a formar c\u00e9lulas. Los niveles de colesterol pueden desequilibrarse de dos maneras: en exceso del colesterol \u00abmalo\u00bb LDL o en defecto del colesterol \u00abbueno\u00bb HDL. En la mayor\u00eda de los casos, esto se debe a una dieta inadecuada y a un estilo de vida poco saludable. A veces, los genes heredados de sus padres, otros problemas de salud que pueda tener o determinados medicamentos que tome pueden elevar sus niveles de colesterol LDL y reducir el colesterol HDL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El colesterol alto puede acumular grasa en las arterias (acumulaci\u00f3n de placa), provocando inflamaci\u00f3n. La acumulaci\u00f3n puede causar obstrucciones en esas arterias, lo que puede provocar un infarto de miocardio o un ictus. Por eso, administrar el colesterol es esencial para mantener la salud y reducir el riesgo de cardiopat\u00edas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al controlar sus niveles de colesterol con tratamiento, contribuye activamente a su bienestar general. Los cambios en el estilo de vida pueden marcar una diferencia significativa a la hora de administrar el colesterol alto. Comer alimentos integrales m\u00e1s sanos, bajos en grasa y ricos en fibra soluble, hacer ejercicio con regularidad y abandonar h\u00e1bitos como el tabaquismo pueden influir positivamente en sus niveles de colesterol. Estos cambios, junto con la medicaci\u00f3n que le recomiende su m\u00e9dico, constituyen un enfoque global para administrar el colesterol alto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfQu\u00e9 son las estatinas y c\u00f3mo act\u00faan?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Existen muchas opciones de estatinas, pero las m\u00e1s recetadas son la atorvastatina (Lipitor) y la rosuvastatina (Crestor). La mayor\u00eda de las estatinas se toman una vez al d\u00eda por la noche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En esencia, las estatinas inhiben una enzima que interviene en la producci\u00f3n de colesterol en el h\u00edgado. Al bloquear esta enzima, las estatinas reducen la capacidad del h\u00edgado para producir colesterol y aumentan su capacidad para remover el LDL (a menudo llamado colesterol \u00abmalo\u00bb) del torrente sangu\u00edneo. Esto las hace muy eficaces para reducir los niveles de colesterol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfC\u00f3mo s\u00e9 si necesito tomar una estatina?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

En primer lugar, usted y su m\u00e9dico deben conocer sus riesgos de tener el colesterol alto. Un sencillo an\u00e1lisis de sangre denominado perfil lip\u00eddico o lipidograma examinar\u00e1 los distintos tipos de colesterol de su organismo y medir\u00e1 lo siguiente<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Las lipoprote\u00ednas de baja densidad (LDL)<\/strong>suelen denominarse colesterol \u00abmalo\u00bb porque se acumulan en las paredes de las arterias y forman placas que aumentan el riesgo de cardiopat\u00edas y accidentes cerebrovasculares.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • La lipoprote\u00edna de alta densidad (HDL)<\/strong> se conoce como colesterol \u00abbueno\u00bb. Atr\u00e1s elimina el exceso de colesterol de los vasos sangu\u00edneos y lo lleva de vuelta al h\u00edgado para su procesamiento.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Los triglic\u00e9ridos<\/strong> son grasas de la sangre diferentes del colesterol, pero igualmente importantes de controlar. Las calor\u00edas que el cuerpo no utiliza se convierten en triglic\u00e9ridos almacenados en las c\u00e9lulas. Unos niveles elevados de triglic\u00e9ridos pueden aumentar el riesgo de problemas cardiovasculares, como infartos de miocardio y accidentes cerebrovasculares.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • El colesterol total <\/strong>es la cantidad total de colesterol que circula por la sangre.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Su profesional de la salud puede recomendarle un tratamiento con estatinas si su colesterol LDL es considerablemente alto. Sin embargo, tambi\u00e9n tendr\u00e1 en cuenta otros factores, como el sexo, la raza, la tensi\u00f3n arterial, el h\u00e1bito de fumar, la diabetes y la edad. Esto les ayudar\u00e1 a evaluar su riesgo global y a decidir si el tratamiento con estatinas es adecuado para usted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    En algunas personas tambi\u00e9n pueden tenerse en cuenta otros factores de riesgo, como antecedentes familiares, enfermedades inflamatorias cr\u00f3nicas, enfermedad renal cr\u00f3nica, complicaciones relacionadas con el embarazo, menopausia precoz, s\u00edndrome metab\u00f3lico y otros resultados de laboratorio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Efectos secundarios<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Como ocurre con cualquier medicamento, puede haber efectos secundarios. Aunque la mayor\u00eda de las personas suelen tolerar las estatinas, algunas experimentan lo siguiente al tomarlas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Dolores de cabeza<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Malestar estomacal<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Estre\u00f1imiento<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Gases<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Dolores musculares, calambres o debilidad que no desaparecen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Para algunas personas, los efectos secundarios pueden llegar a ser molestos, o sus niveles de colesterol no mejoran con el tratamiento. Si usted pertenece a estas categor\u00edas, existen otras opciones de medicaci\u00f3n para a\u00f1adir a su plan de tratamiento que puede consultar con su m\u00e9dico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Consideraciones sobre el embarazo y la lactancia<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      La Food and Drug Administration (FDA) aconseja que la mayor\u00eda de las pacientes embarazadas dejen de tomar estatinas y no den el pecho mientras las toman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Tomar la decisi\u00f3n correcta para usted<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      En general, las estatinas est\u00e1n bien estudiadas y las investigaciones han demostrado que reducen significativamente el riesgo de infarto de miocardio y accidente cerebrovascular en pacientes de alto riesgo. Si su m\u00e9dico le recomienda que empiece a tomar estatinas, puede compartir la informaci\u00f3n con \u00e9l. T\u00f3mese el tiempo para hablar sobre la medicaci\u00f3n y c\u00f3mo le beneficiar\u00e1 en funci\u00f3n de su salud, antecedentes familiares y riesgos de enfermedad card\u00edaca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
