Cholesterol Screenings
What is cholesterol?
Cholesterol and triglycerides are members of a family of molecules called lipids. Cholesterol is needed by the body to build cell walls, make hormones, and for other important processes. For many Americans there is too much cholesterol in the blood. This cholesterol can form plaque in the blood vessels. This condition is known as atherosclerosis. This condition is a major risk factor for heart disease, the number one killer for both men and women in the United States.
