Cholesterol Screenings
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Research has shown that elevated cholesterol is a major risk factor for developing heart disease. Even with lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise, many of us still have elevated cholesterol levels.
Kelley-Ross provides a quick test that gives you your cholesterol levels as well as a Framingham risk assessment of your 10 year risk of having a cardiac event, such as a heart attack.
You may choose a total cholesterol screening (Total cholesterol and HDL) or a full panel (includes total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, Triglycerides and glucose). It is recommended that you fast 8-12 hours prior to a screening and abstain for alcohol for 24 hours, therefore consider calling for a morning appointment.
