Cholesterol

A complete cholesterol test, also known as a lipid panel, measures the levels of different types of cholesterol and triglycerides in the bloodstream. This test provides valuable information about your heart health and helps assess your risk for cardiovascular disease, such as heart attacks and strokes. At Revere Health, we offer comprehensive cholesterol testing as part of routine health screenings to help monitor and manage your cholesterol levels.

What a Cholesterol Test Measures
Total Cholesterol: The overall amount of cholesterol in your blood, which includes both “good” and “bad” cholesterol.
Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Cholesterol: Often called “bad” cholesterol, LDL can build up in the arteries and lead to blockages, increasing the risk of heart disease.
High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) Cholesterol: Known as “good” cholesterol, HDL helps remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream, reducing the risk of plaque buildup in the arteries.
Triglycerides: A type of fat in the blood. High levels of triglycerides can contribute to the hardening of arteries or thickening of arterial walls, increasing the risk of heart disease.

Why Cholesterol Testing is Important
Heart Disease Prevention: Monitoring cholesterol levels is crucial for preventing heart disease and managing risk factors.
Early Detection: Regular cholesterol tests can detect abnormal levels early, allowing for lifestyle changes or treatments to be implemented before serious complications arise.
Tracking Health Improvements: For individuals making dietary or lifestyle changes to lower cholesterol, regular testing helps track progress and guide ongoing health decisions.

Benefits of Managing Cholesterol
Reduced Risk of Cardiovascular Disease: Proper management of cholesterol levels lowers the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular issues.
Improved Overall Health: Balanced cholesterol levels contribute to better circulation, improved energy, and overall well-being.
Informed Health Decisions: Knowing your cholesterol numbers empowers you to make informed decisions about your diet, exercise, and potential treatments.
