Abstract

Recent data suggest that cardiovascular diseases are treatable but not curable. We are prolonging our patients lives, unfortunately not their life years spent in health. As shown by the British BioBank trial a longstandingexposition to genetically determined low LDL substantially lower cardiovascular risk. This is particularly relevant considering that modern medicinemakes possible to detect and safely intervene these risk factors in a timely fashion. This approach should be able to prevent early vascular aging. These methods should be applies in patients early after detection of high blood pressure and hypercholesterolemia and treat them to target levels. This approach my be particularlyrewarding in a well informed patient considering the mutual potentiation of multiple risk factors.
