Cholesterol issues
Cholesterol issues occur when the body has an imbalance of good (HDL) and bad (LDL) cholesterol. High cholesterol slowly builds up in the arteries, reducing blood flow and increasing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases.
At Dr. Prajkta Patil’s clinic, patients receive precise evaluation, preventive guidance, and personalized treatment to manage cholesterol levels effectively and improve long-term heart health.
What Cholesterol Management Involves
The aim is to reduce excess cholesterol, prevent plaque buildup, and maintain smooth blood circulation.
Management includes lifestyle modifications, diet correction, medication (if needed), and regular monitoring.
The ultimate goal is to protect the heart, maintain healthy arteries, and support a fit, active lifestyle.
Common Types of Cholesterol Issues
High LDL (Bad Cholesterol)
Leads to plaque buildup in arteries, increasing heart disease risk.
Low HDL (Good Cholesterol)
Reduces the body’s ability to remove harmful cholesterol.
High Triglycerides
Often related to diabetes, obesity, and unhealthy eating.
Mixed Dyslipidemia
A combination of high LDL, low HDL, and high triglycerides.
Familial Hypercholesterolemia
A genetic condition causing very high cholesterol levels from a young age.
