Coronary heart disease has relatively clear risk factors. Among them, blood lipid levels and blood sugar levels, as two main risk factors, play an important role in promoting the onset of coronary heart disease. The two complement each other in a vicious cycle, synergize and promote each other, promote the process of coronary atherosclerosis, thereby causing coronary heart disease. Multiple components in blood lipids and poor management of long-term blood sugar levels play a major role in specific clinical problems. This article reviews the different components of blood lipids and the effects of hyperglycemia on coronary heart disease, and initially expounds the mechanism by which blood lipids and blood sugar levels synergize each other to aggravate the risk of coronary heart disease, and combines them with relevant clinical issues, in order to help clinicians guide the prevention of coronary heart disease in terms of blood lipids and blood sugar levels.
