Healthy heart, healthy life!

The Lipid Clinic at Lakeshore Medical Clinic offers patients a multidisciplinary approach to prevention of cardiovascular events such as heart attack, stroke and peripheral artery disease.

What are lipids?

Lipids are cholesterols that cause problems in the blood vessels around the heart and throughout the rest of the body. High cholesterol is a leading risk factor for coronary heart disease.

Who should see a lipid specialist?

If any of the following apply, you may be a candidate for treatment by a lipid specialist:

• A family history of heart disease at a young age.
• The presence of recurrent heart disease or stroke, despite control attempts.
• Inability to tolerate cholesterol medication.
