Lipid Disorders – Adult
Our adult program focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of cholesterol and triglyceride disorders to prevent heart disease and stroke or reverse existing arterial disease.
Optimal therapy for cholesterol-related diseases is based on establishing a favorable ratio between LDL, which promotes cholesterol deposits and HDL, which promotes the removal of cholesterol. Individualized treatment at the CLCC may include diet and exercise modification, lipid-lowering medication, and, when necessary, referral for surgical therapy or LDL-apheresis.
