Consultations for chronic diseases
Cholesterol screening, support, and monitoring
Symptoms
Asymptomatic disease
Like high blood pressure, excess cholesterol is a silent phenomenon. There are therefore no specific symptoms that manifest themselves when you have excess cholesterol in your blood.
Don't wait until you show signs of complications to decide to have your cholesterol levels checked to see if everything is okay, because symptoms are the result of complications from high cholesterol.
Don't wait until you develop cardiovascular disease—make an appointment now.
Complications
Situations to monitor
Cholesterol that builds up in the arteries, called atherosclerotic plaque, can cause serious complications. Here is a list of complications to watch out for.
Arteritis of the lower extremities
The diameter of the arteries narrows and impedes proper blood flow.
Angina pectoris
Atheroma plaque that hardens.
Heart attack
A blood clot forms and breaks off, blocking a coronary artery.
CVA | Cerebrovascular accident
The cerebral artery becomes blocked.
Kidney failure
The renal artery becomes blocked.
