A full lipid panel with clear next steps — know your numbers, control your risk.
Cholesterol builds up silently. Excess LDL ("bad") cholesterol deposits plaque inside your arteries, narrowing them over time and setting the stage for heart attack and stroke — often without a single warning sign. Our in-office lipid panel measures your total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides. Dr. Kalafatic reviews your results in context — your age, family history, blood pressure, and lifestyle — and translates them into a concrete plan: diet and exercise changes, follow-up testing, or lipid-lowering medication when appropriate.
High cholesterol is a major, controllable risk factor for coronary artery disease. Knowing your numbers is the first step to lowering them.
