Cholesterol
What is a Lipid Profile?
This group of tests measures the amount of cholesterol and other fats in your blood.
Why I Should Get a Lipid Profile Screening?
Understanding and improving cholesterol is important for men, women and children of all ages. High cholesterol contributes to a higher risk for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), such as heart disease and stroke.
What is Cholesterol?
Cholesterol is a waxy, fatlike substance in your blood. Cholesterol is essential for good health, but too much of the bad kind of cholesterol can put you at a higher risk of heart disease or stroke.
It’s important to check your cholesterol to make sure you’re at a healthy level — and healthy lifestyle habits like eating a healthy and balanced diet, moving your body, and eliminating tobacco use can all help you better manage your cholesterol levels.
