Cholesterol & Lipid Management in Knoxville, TN
Comprehensive lipid panel analysis and management strategies to lower cholesterol and reduce cardiovascular risk.
What is Cholesterol & Lipid Management?
High cholesterol occurs when you have too much LDL ("bad") cholesterol or too little HDL ("good") cholesterol in your blood, leading to plaque buildup in arteries that can cause heart attacks and strokes. Risk factors include genetics, diet high in saturated fats, lack of exercise, smoking, and certain medical conditions. Treatment options include statin medications (atorvastatin, rosuvastatin), lifestyle modifications (Mediterranean diet, omega-3 fatty acids, soluble fiber), regular exercise, and in some cases, newer medications like PCSK9 inhibitors. It's important to see a doctor because high cholesterol has no symptoms until it causes a cardiovascular event. Your doctor will interpret your lipid panel results, calculate your cardiovascular risk score, and determine if medication is needed based on your individual risk factors, family history, and other health conditions.
