Cholesterol-Lowering
Drugs May Help
Prevent Heart Attack
HOUSTON — Cholesterol ex-
perts at The DeBakey Heart Cen-
ter at Baylor College of Medicine
and The Methodist Hospital in
Houston say cholesterol-lowering
drugs may be beneficial in people
who have never been diagnosed
with heart disease.
“Our studies have shown that
people who markedly reduce their
total cholesterol level lower their risk
of heart attack by one-third,’’said Dr.
Peter Jones, associate professor of
medicine at Baylor and Methodist.
More than half of American adults
have high or borderline-high choles-
terol levels, according to the National
Cholesterol Education Program. Tbo
much cholesterol can lead to heart
disease — the number one killer in
men and women.
Many people work at lowering their
low density lipoprotein (LDL) or ‘‘bad
cholesterol4 and increasing their
high density lipoprotein (HDL) or
“good cholesterol” to prevent a heart
attack, said Jones.
Jones recommends that people
with a high risk of heart disease regu-
larly keep their cholesterol level in
check.
Heart disease risk factors for
people with high cholesterol include:
• Age (men ages 45 and older ant}
women ages 55 and older or who are
postmenopausal)
• Diabetes
• Hypertension
• Cigarette smoking
• Low HDL (below 35 mg/dl)
• Family history of early heart dis-
ease
Jones says the greater the number
of risk factors, the more important it
is to get treated.
“If you have more than one of these
risk factors, seek medical advice,”
Jones said. “Sometimes a low-fat diet
