Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death among adults in the United States, and people with hyperlipidemia are at roughly twice the risk of developing CVD as compared to those with normal total cholesterol levels. Hyperlipidemia is a major metabolic disorder vastly seen in this era of modernization and fast life, living with stressful life and and fast foods having high calories and also has every comfort of living and not doing any kind of physical activity. A cluster of other metabolic risk factors are often found in association with this hyperlipidemia including obesity, Glucose intolerance, insulin resistance and hypertension Patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) have an even greater risk of developing CVD at an earlier age; therefore, early detection and treatment are imperative to reduce cardiovascular events and premature death. Statins are the mainstay treatment for hyperlipidemia; however, the limitations of statins include treatment resistance, intolerance due to adverse events, and a lack of adherence which contribute to poor outcomes. For prevention and control of Non Communicable Diseases, a pilot project, Integration of Unani Medicine in National Programme for Prevention and Control of Cancer, Diabetes, Cardiovascular diseases and Stroke (NPCDCS) was launched by Central Council for Researach in Unani Medicine, Ministry of AYUSH, Govt of India at 17 CHCs and District Hospital Lakhimpur Kheri (UP). Under this pilot project this study conducted. In this study patients of Hyperlipidemia were divided in to two groups, Group A received Allopathic Medicine + Lifestyle interventions / Ilaj bit Tadbeer and Yoga while Group B received Unani drug Sandroos + Allopathic Medicine + Lifestyle interventions/ Ilaj bit Tadbeer and Yoga. There is a significant improvement occurred in the patients of Hyperlipidemia. In second group withdrawal of Allopathic medicines were also seen in some patients. |
