A MUST READ: Warning Signs of a Heart Attack Can be Found on Your Eyelids

The study published in the *British Medical Journal *revealed its findings
that show a link between heart diseases and a health condition known as
*xanthelasma* (xanthelasma palpebrarum). This condition appears as a
sharply demarcated yellowish deposit of fat underneath the skin, usually on
or around the eyelids. These yellow formations occur in the upper or lower
eyelid near the inner corner of the eye.

*The connection between heart disease and xanthelasma*
Both sexes, and especially after 40, can suffer from this condition. These
yellow growths are the result of cholesterol deposits and indicate a higher
level of cholesterol in almost half of the patients affected with this
condition.
People with xanthelasma usually seek medical help because these growths are
unattractive, otherwise, they are soft and painless and do not affect
vision.
In fact, without considering them as a warning of a more serious condition,
and despite their re-emergence after removal, people most often decide to
remove these yellowish growths because their appearance is far from
pleasing to the eye.
*Scientific evidence*
The link between heart disease and xanthelasma has been scientifically
confirmed by a recent Danish research. The professor who led the team, Mr.
Tibjaerg Hansen came to conclusions that will alter the way we see these
seemingly harmless growths, which are ignored as irrelevant by both
patients and doctors.
Women with xanthelasma have an 8% higher risk of heart attack

as opposed to those who are not affected by this phenomenon. It has been
proved that women have a lower risk of heart disease than men. Moreover,
researchers in this study explained that xanthelasma allows accurate
prediction of heart disease in this particular group of patients.
On the other hand, it has been proven that men are more prone to heart
disease. Men affected with xanthelasma are at a 12% higher risk of heart
attack, and men aged 70-79 are at an even higher risk.
This research discovered that the presence of xanthelasma cases in each age
group indicates an increased probability of heart disease, heart attack and
death. Both men and women who have these yellow growths on their eyelids
are likely to experience a heart attack, and in 10- year period, they may
even be life- threatened.
The research concluded that xanthelasma, independent of other factors such
as high cholesterol, obesity, smoking and high blood pressure

may indicate a severe atherosclerosis, heart attack, heart disease and
death.
So, in case you notice that these yellow growths appear on your eyelids, it
is highly advisable that you immediately check your cholesterol levels.
