What is Lipidology?
Lipidology is the medical discipline concerned with how fats (lipids) are processed in the body and how this process affects heart health. Fats, including cholesterol and triglycerides, play essential roles in the body, but can cause problems when their levels become unbalanced. Too much "bad" cholesterol (LDL cholesterol) and triglycerides in the blood can increase the risk of heart disease and other heart-related complications.

Lipid Profiling and Testing
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation for effective lipid management.

This thorough analysis gives us a clear understanding of your lipid profile, allowing us to assess your risk for heart disease and guide treatment decisions.
