What is a Lipid Profile Test?

A lipid profile test is a simple blood test that measures fats and cholesterol levels in the bloodstream. It includes:

1. Total Cholesterol

2. Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) – “bad” cholesterol

3. High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) – “good” cholesterol

4. Triglycerides

Why Lipid Management is Important

Uncontrolled cholesterol can lead to plaque formation in the arteries, increasing the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and vascular diseases. Early detection and proper management can prevent serious cardiac events and improve long-term health outcomes.

Treatment Approaches

Lifestyle modification guidance (nutrition, exercise, and stress management)

Statins and other lipid-lowering medications

Monitoring and interpreting lipid profile results

Managing associated conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and obesity

Who Should Get Lipid Profile Testing?

Individuals with a family history of heart disease

People with high blood pressure, diabetes, or obesity

Smokers and physically inactive individuals

Adults over 35 for routine heart health screening
