Hypercholesterolemia

Follow along on our guide to Hypercholesterolemia -- i.e., high cholesterol -- which can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular problems. An estimated 40% of adults worldwide have high cholesterol, which is estimated to cause 2.6 million deaths annually and 29.7 million "disability-adjusted life years," according to the World Health Organization. Each step of the Medical Journey will delve into another aspect of the condition, including causes and diagnosis, genetic factors, related conditions, therapy options, coping strategies, and lessons learned from unique case studies -- all of which have undergone expert review. Every installment will also include a separate, downloadable, printable information resource for patients.
