Reader Briefing

High cholesterol from genetics, not just lifestyle, requires medication, warns Doctor Tan using James Jirayu's case.

•Doctor Tan highlights the case of celebrity James Jirayu, who had very high LDL cholesterol despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
•The article emphasizes that genetic factors can cause high LDL, which exercise and diet alone may not sufficiently lower.
•It warns against complacency and advises seeking medical treatment, including medication, for persistently high LDL to prevent serious cardiovascular issues.

•The article discusses the issue of high LDL cholesterol and the common misconception that exercise and diet are always sufficient to manage it.
•Doctor Tan explains that high LDL cholesterol (LDL) in the blood often stems from genetic abnormalities affecting the body's ability to clear LDL.
•Despite celebrity James Jirayu's rigorous exercise routine and lean physique, his LDL cholesterol reportedly reached 280 mg/dL and total cholesterol 320 mg/dL.
•Persistently high LDL levels can silently damage blood vessel walls, significantly increasing the risk of heart and brain vascular diseases.
•Doctor Tan states that medication is not a failure but a medical necessity to address the root cause and prevent serious future health consequences.
•Genetic factors can impair the liver's LDL receptor function, leading to elevated LDL levels in the blood that lifestyle changes may not resolve.
•The concept of "LDL-years" highlights that the cumulative duration of high LDL exposure, not just the current level, increases cardiovascular risk.
•If LDL is found to be significantly high (especially above 190 mg/dL), or if genetic factors are suspected, it is recommended to consult a doctor for assessment and appropriate treatment, which may include medication.
