A painless dose of sound waves may be a new and effective way to reduce harmful cholesterol and blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease.

Currently, treatment for cholesterol and blood pressure patients includes adopting a healthy lifestyle that includes not smoking, eating a healthy diet, exercising, and reducing alcohol, drugs, and cholesterol lowering drugs.

But researchers are working on a new approach that detonates ultrasound kidney fat. These excess fats have been shown to play a major role in increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Animal studies have found that these fats are linked to high cholesterol and high blood pressure, and the destruction of many of these fats can significantly lower your cholesterol in the long run.

It is believed that the fat around the kidneys is a unique type of visceral fat, as it contains a network of blood vessels and nerves that researchers suggest may be active, and secretes compounds called adipocene, some of which cause infections that can narrow blood vessels.

Researchers at Nanjing Medical University of China are conducting an experiment to see whether detonating these ultrasound fats will have benefits for humans as well, as a handheld device is used to launch a high-intensity, high-intensity ultrasound package on the fat tissue around the kidneys , And this procedure lasts for several minutes and takes place once.

84 patients with a history of high blood pressure and cholesterol participate in the experiment, and they also have large deposits of fat. Doctors will check cholesterol levels and blood pressure readings before and after three months of treatment, according to the British Daily Mail.
