TORVASTAT can be used to help reduce the risk of having a heart attack or stroke in people who have high blood pressure and coronary heart disease (CHD) or who are at risk of CHD. Some examples of risk factors for CHD are diabetes, a history of stroke, or small blood vessel disease. _WHAT IS CHOLESTEROL? _ Everyone has cholesterol in their blood. It is a type of blood fat needed by the body for many things, such as building the cell lining, making bile acids (which help to digest food) and some hormones. However, too much cholesterol can be a problem. Cholesterol is present in many foods and is also made in your body by the liver. If your body makes too much cholesterol or you have too much cholesterol in your diet, then your level becomes too high. High cholesterol is more likely to occur with certain diseases or if you have a family history of high cholesterol. There are different types of cholesterol. Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) is the “bad” cholesterol that can block your blood vessels. High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is the “good” cholesterol that is thought to remove the bad cholesterol from the blood vessels. When you have high levels of “bad” cholesterol in your blood, it may begin to “stick” to the inside of your blood vessels instead of being carried to the parts 阅读完整的文件
