Academic Cardiology Associates offers cholesterol management under the direction of the cardiologist.

Elevated cholesterol is an important risk factor for development of coronary artery disease. Lowering cholesterol through diet, exercise and, if necessary, medication can cut your risk of heart disease and stroke. The nurses and physicians can provide diet and exercise information based on the most current recommendations for preventing heart disease. If cholesterol lowering medication is necessary, careful monitoring is important to optimize the effectiveness and safety of the treatment.

The American Heart Association web site offers additional information and surveys to help determine your risk.
