Cardiovascular diseases are among the most important causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. One of the important risk factors of cardiovascular disease is hyperlipidemia especially high levels of serum cholesterol. Due to the importance of hypercholesterolemia, being a serious condition, various treatments are used to control it, regardless of the cause, most of treatments, focused on reducing the level of serum lipids. This study aims to determine various view points for hypercholesterolemia in Iranian traditional medicine.
We used several Iranian traditional medicine resources and literatures; then based on these texts; a pilot study was designed to assess their effects in 10 patients with high plasma cholesterol. The sign and symptoms in main digestive organs (Stomach and liver) were also evaluated.
Some patients showed hepatic temperament but all patients had gastric temperament.
With reference to Iranian traditional medical texts and literatures, the organs involved in the process of digestion, particularly the stomach and the liver play the most important role. Yet the proper function of stomach as the first step involved in the digestion chain should be emphasized.
心血管疾病是全球发病和死亡的最重要原因之一。心血管疾病的重要危险因素之一是高脂血症，尤其是血清胆固醇水平升高。由于高胆固醇血症作为一种严重病症的重要性，人们使用了各种治疗方法来控制它，无论病因如何，大多数治疗方法都集中在降低血脂水平上。本研究旨在确定伊朗传统医学中关于高胆固醇血症的各种观点。
我们使用了几本伊朗传统医学资源和文献；然后基于这些文本，设计了一项初步研究，以评估它们对10名高血浆胆固醇患者的影响。还评估了主要消化器官（胃和肝脏）的体征和症状。
一些患者表现出肝质，但所有患者都有胃质。
参照伊朗传统医学文本和文献，参与消化过程的器官，特别是胃和肝脏起着最重要的作用。然而，应强调胃作为消化链第一步的正常功能。
