What is a Cholesterol Risk Checker?
This tool analyzes your Lipid Profile results (Total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and Triglycerides) to calculate your heart health risk level based on NCEP ATP III guidelines.
Why Monitor Cholesterol?
High cholesterol often has no symptoms but can lead to heart attacks and strokes. Regular monitoring helps in early detection and lifestyle management.
What are Healthy Levels?
- Total Cholesterol: Less than 200 mg/dL
- LDL (Bad): Less than 100 mg/dL
- HDL (Good): 60 mg/dL or higher
- Triglycerides: Less than 150 mg/dL
Q: What tests should I book?
A comprehensive Lipid Profile test is recommended. If your results are high, doctors may also suggest a TSH (Thyroid) and HbA1c (Sugar) test. Book these easily on Sompurno App.
