Answer first
What is high cholesterol?
High cholesterol can contribute to plaque buildup in arteries and increase cardiovascular risk, often without causing symptoms.
When should I see a healthcare provider?
Ask about testing during preventive care or if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, family history, tobacco exposure, or a prior abnormal lipid result.
How is it evaluated?
A lipid panel is interpreted together with age, health history, family history, blood pressure, diabetes status, and other risk factors.
What may treatment or management involve?
Management may involve nutrition, activity, weight and tobacco support, medication when appropriate, and repeat laboratory monitoring.
