REDUCING CARDIAC RISK
Doctor Hartley, consulted, reflected:
"With your hyperlipemia detected
(Increased cardiac death-risk suspected),
We're advising you try
To fly straight, and comply
With the lifestyle and drugs we've selected."
Dr G.H. and Giorgio Coniglio, 2022
Authors' Note: Jealousy at the flight of birds has apparently resulted in expressions suggesting that human social responsibility is analogous to having one's wings clipped, or flying straight, as here.
Hyperlipemia (also known in America as hyperlipidemia), is a medical condition in which high blood levels of fats (lipids), particularly cholesterol, portend cardiac disease, including deadly heart attacks. Hyperlipemia is one of a number of such asymptomatic risk factors including hypertension and diabetes. Fortunately, change in lifestyle including diet and exercise, and judicious prescription of pharmaceutical drugs, such as statins, can reduce risk.
