Understanding Diabetes
Comprehensive High Cholesterol Care & Treatment
High cholesterol is a common yet serious health condition that can silently increase your risk of heart disease and stroke. Often called a “silent problem,” high cholesterol usually does not show noticeable symptoms until complications arise. At Varia Hospital, we provide expert diagnosis, prevention, and personalized treatment plans to help you manage your cholesterol levels effectively.
Our goal is not just to lower cholesterol numbers, but to improve your overall heart health through a combination of medical treatment, lifestyle changes, and continuous monitoring.
What is High Cholesterol?
Cholesterol is a fatty substance found in your blood that is essential for building healthy cells. However, when cholesterol levels become too high, it can lead to the formation of fatty deposits in your blood vessels. Over time, these deposits can restrict blood flow and increase the risk of heart attack or stroke.
- LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein): Known as “bad cholesterol” that can build up in arteries.
- HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein): Known as “good cholesterol” that helps remove excess cholesterol.
- Triglycerides: Another type of fat that contributes to heart risk when elevated.
Why Cholesterol Control is Important
Uncontrolled cholesterol can lead to serious conditions such as coronary artery disease, heart attack, stroke, and peripheral artery disease. Regular screening and early intervention can significantly reduce these risks.
