Team Approach
Your care team may include:
- Cardiologists (heart doctors) – Diagnose and treat high blood pressure
- Nurse practitioners and physician assistants – Help oversee your ongoing care
- Nurses – Monitor your health and answer your questions
- Dietitians – Make personal nutrition plans to lower your cholesterol
- Pharmacists – Help you understand your drugs and possible side effects
- Genetic counselors – Review your family history to learn about your genetic risk for high cholesterol
What We Do
Based on your needs, we might recommend:
- Changes to your diet
- More physical activity
- Medicine that has fewer side effects than statins (drugs that reduce how much cholesterol your liver makes)
- Clinical trials of new treatment options
We’ll talk with you, your cardiologist and your primary care team to make a care plan that works for you.
