Bring your cholesterol levels into balance – for an optimal cardiovascular system.
The Cholesterol Status analyzes your blood lipid levels such as total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides. These values are crucial for assessing your risk of cardiovascular disease and taking countermeasures at an early stage.
Why test now? Elevated blood lipid levels often go unnoticed and can impair your vascular health in the long term. With the Cholesterol Status, you gain clarity about your current status and can take targeted action.
Your benefits:
- Targeted analysis: Measurement of the most important blood lipid values for your heart health.
- Simple & convenient: Flexible sample collection from home.
- Clear feedback: Your individual report shows your values in comparison to the normal ranges.
- As an option, you can book a telephone medical consultation.
Why is the test important?
Blood lipids cause no pain – until it is too late. Elevated cholesterol levels are among the most important risk factors for heart attack and stroke and remain invisible without measurement.
- Identify risk: LDL, HDL, and total cholesterol as well as triglycerides show your lipid metabolism status at a glance.
- Counteract early: Diet, exercise, and – if necessary – medication measurably lower the risk.
- Monitor progress: Regular measurement shows whether your measures are working.
When should I take the test?
A Cholesterol Status is particularly useful if the following symptoms or risk factors are present:
- Overweight or obesity
- High blood pressure
- Diabetes or insulin resistance
- Family history of heart disease or strokes
- Unhealthy diet with a high fat or sugar content
- Lack of exercise
- Smoking
- Constant fatigue or shortness of breath during physical exertion
Important: Discuss your results with a doctor to plan individual measures for your heart health.
