High cholesterol usually produces no symptoms, yet it is one of the leading contributors to heart attack and stroke. Managing cholesterol is an important part of preventing cardiovascular disease.
We evaluate cholesterol levels within the context of your overall cardiovascular risk rather than focusing on laboratory numbers alone. Age, blood pressure, diabetes, smoking history, family history, and other factors all influence treatment recommendations.
Lifestyle changes including healthy nutrition, regular exercise, and weight management remain the foundation of therapy. When appropriate, cholesterol-lowering medications such as statins are recommended to further reduce cardiovascular risk.
Our goal is to help patients make informed decisions that promote long-term heart health.
