Introduction to Atorvastatin: It is one of the most widely used drugs in clinical practice to regulate blood lipids and prevent cardiovascular diseases. It is also one of the third-generation lipid-lowering drugs. Its main function is to lower blood lipids, improve blood viscosity symptoms, and prevent blood vessel obstruction. Additionally, it helps reduce triglycerides, cholesterol, and LDL levels in the blood, thereby effectively promoting good health.

The clinical application of atorvastatin mainly includes the following three aspects:

1. Hypercholesterolemia: This is what we usually call hyperlipidemia. For patients with primary hyperlipidemia, including familial hyperlipidemia and mixed hyperlipidemia (high total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides), if the lipid-lowering effect is not satisfactory through diet and lifestyle adjustments, atorvastatin can be taken to regulate blood lipids. Clinical data shows that taking atorvastatin can effectively reduce blood lipids by 30 to 40%.

2. Secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease: For patients with existing coronary heart disease and hypercholesterolemia, in order to prevent the risk of recurrence of cardiovascular disease, atorvastatin can be taken for a long time to regulate blood lipids and stabilize plaques.

3. Primary prevention of cardiovascular disease: For patients who have not yet developed cardiovascular disease but are at risk of cardiovascular disease, such as diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and hypercholesterolemia, long-term use can be used as primary prevention based on risk assessment. In addition to lowering blood lipids and stabilizing plaques, atorvastatin also has certain anti-inflammatory and delaying atherosclerosis effects.
