Hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol) is a major risk factor for heart attack and stroke. Like hypertension, it's a silent condition — you won't feel it until cardiovascular damage is done. We review your lipid panel, assess your cardiovascular risk, and build a plan that combines lifestyle changes with medication when appropriate.
Signs & symptoms
- Typically no symptoms until a cardiovascular event occurs
- LDL cholesterol above recommended levels
- Low HDL cholesterol
- Elevated triglycerides
- Family history of heart disease or high cholesterol
- Known risk factors: smoking, diabetes, obesity, sedentary lifestyle
Our approach
Statins remain the gold standard for LDL reduction. We also consider ezetimibe, PCSK9 inhibitor referrals, and fibrates for high triglycerides — chosen based on your risk profile and tolerance. Dietary guidance (reducing saturated fat, increasing fiber) is part of every plan.
Who is this for?
Adults with elevated cholesterol, high triglycerides, or cardiovascular risk factors who need monitoring and treatment.
