You may feel perfectly fine, yet high cholesterol can silently damage your arteries and increase the risk of heart disease or stroke.
Excess LDL (bad cholesterol) builds plaque in arteries, restricting blood flow and raising the chances of heart attacks over time.
A lipid profile measures LDL, HDL (good cholesterol), triglycerides, and total cholesterol, giving a complete picture of heart health.
Adults above 30, people with diabetes, obesity, or a family history of heart disease should monitor cholesterol levels regularly.
Timely testing helps you take control of diet, exercise, and treatment, reducing serious risks and keeping your heart healthy.
