Take Control of Your Heart Health

 

High cholesterol doesn’t usually cause symptoms—but over time, it can lead to serious complications like heart attack, stroke, or blocked arteries. At Mesa Family Physicians, we help you understand your cholesterol levels and create a personalized plan to reduce your risk.

Whether your levels are slightly elevated or significantly high, our team provides guidance, regular monitoring, and treatment options to support your long-term cardiovascular health.

We help patients manage:

High LDL (“bad”) cholesterol

Low HDL (“good”) cholesterol

High triglycerides

Genetic or family history of high cholesterol

Cholesterol concerns alongside conditions like diabetes or hypertension

What’s Included in Cholesterol Management?

Our care plans combine lab testing, education, and lifestyle support with or without medications to keep your heart and blood vessels healthy.

✔ Blood tests (lipid panel) – Checking total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglycerides

Medication management – Including statins, ezetimibe, PCSK9 inhibitors, or alternatives

✔ Lifestyle coaching – Nutrition guidance, physical activity, and weight management

✔ Monitoring for side effects – Ensuring treatments are safe and effective

✔ Risk assessment – Reviewing other heart risk factors like blood pressure, smoking, or diabetes

✔ Ongoing follow-up – Regular check-ins and lab reviews to track progress

 

We adjust your plan as needed to help you meet your targets without unnecessary medications.

Our Approach to Cholesterol Care

Preventive and Personalized

 

We take time to explain your numbers and what they mean for your heart health. Whether you’re trying to avoid starting medication, already on a statin, or managing multiple risk factors, our approach is always tailored to you.

We prioritize prevention through education, coaching, and practical lifestyle changes because the more you understand, the more control you have over your health.

When to Seek Medical Support for High Cholesterol

Routine Monitoring Is Key, Even Without Symptoms

 

You should schedule a visit if:

Your recent labs show elevated cholesterol – Even mildly high levels may need attention

You have a family history of heart disease or stroke – Early care can reduce your personal risk

You already take medication for cholesterol – To monitor results and adjust as needed

You’ve never had a cholesterol test – Especially if you’re over 20 or have other risk factors

You’re trying to improve your heart health – Diet, weight loss, and exercise goals benefit from guidance

You also have diabetes, hypertension, or metabolic syndrome – These conditions often overlap

Managing cholesterol early helps prevent problems later.
