Lipids
Lipids are fatty substances that circulate in the bloodstream, serving specific functions. At TMH Physician Partners - Lipidology, we test your cholesterol and triglycerides, two types of lipids, to make sure they are not circulating in excess as that can lead to heart attacks, strokes or bruising of the pancreas.
At TMH Physician Partners - Lipidology, we offer these resources to help manage your lipid health:
- Highly comprehensive consultation
- Special labs/imaging studies
- One-on-one visits with dietitians
- Thorough discussions regarding lipid management
- Extensive education on lipid science
- Cardiovascular risk assessment
- Combination lipid-lowering medications, including non-statin alternatives
- Therapeutic lifestyle changes
We know one size doesn’t fit all – by the end of your visit, you will have a comprehensive health plan tailored to your specific, unique health needs.
