CHOL RISK FACTOR

What Is a Complete Cholesterol Test?
A complete cholesterol test, also known as a lipid profile, is a blood test used to assess cholesterol levels in the body. It helps determine if your cholesterol is elevated and evaluates your risk of cardiovascular conditions.

Why This Test Is Important
This test provides critical insights into your heart health by measuring total cholesterol, LDL (bad cholesterol), HDL (good cholesterol), and triglycerides. High cholesterol can lead to the buildup of plaque in blood vessels, increasing the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other circulatory diseases.

Who Should Get Tested?
Routine cholesterol testing is recommended for adults over the age of 40, or earlier if you have risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, or a family history of heart disease. It is especially useful for individuals managing existing heart conditions or on cholesterol-lowering medication.
