We are pleased to announce the grand opening of the Center for Cholesterol Management online health and supplements store, providing products for your heart health and overall wellness.For the past fifty years, medical science has learned a lot about the causes of heart disease. At first, doctors looked at total cholesterol numbers but then discovered that not all cholesterol was dangerous.
That's when doctors discovered the importance of identifying the different types of cholesterol - LDL (the "bad" cholesterol) and HDL (the "good" cholesterol). Generally speaking, the lower the LDL numbers and the higher the HDL numbers, the better.
While measuring cholesterol is helpful, knowing these numbers isn't enough for all patients. Doctors are beginning to realize that determining your risk of a heart attack is not as simple as just measuring your cholesterol.
The Center for Cholesterol Management provides state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment for patients with lipid disorders. This multi-disciplinary team approach to lipid treatment comprises the efforts of physicians, nurses, dietitians, and physical therapists to offer preventative and management care for patients with high cholesterol, heart disease and those at risk for developing coronary artery disease.
