Description

Dyslipidemia is a common metabolic condition in which the levels of cholesterol and other fats (lipids) in the blood become abnormal. It may include high LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, high triglycerides, low HDL (“good”) cholesterol, or a combination of these abnormalities. Often, dyslipidemia does not cause any noticeable symptoms, but over time, excess cholesterol can accumulate in the walls of blood vessels and lead to plaque formation (atherosclerosis). This can increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, peripheral artery disease, and other cardiovascular complications. The risk may be higher in people with diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, fatty liver disease, thyroid disorders, a sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy dietary habits, smoking, or a family history of premature heart disease. At Atharvasiddhi Polyclinic – Preventive Heart & Wellness Clinic, our approach focuses on early detection, comprehensive cardiovascular risk assessment, and personalized cholesterol management. Management may include dietary modification, exercise, weight management, lifestyle correction, and medications when clinically indicated. Regular lipid profile testing and timely intervention can help control cholesterol, protect your heart, and reduce your long-term risk of cardiovascular disease.
