What is a Cholesterol Check?

A cholesterol check or lipid panel, provides essential insights into your heart health by evaluating the different types of fats in your blood. Monitoring these values can help assess your risk for heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular conditions. A comprehensive lipid or cholesterol panel includes:
  • Total Cholesterol (Serum) Total cholesterol measures the combined levels of cholesterol in your blood, giving a broad indication of overall cholesterol health.
  • HDL Cholesterol (Good Cholesterol) High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) is known as the "good cholesterol" because it helps remove other forms of cholesterol from your bloodstream. Higher levels of HDL are generally better for heart health.
  • Triglycerides (Serum) Triglycerides are fats stored in the blood and used for energy. Elevated triglyceride levels can increase your risk of heart disease and may require lifestyle or dietary changes.
  • Calculated LDL (Bad Cholesterol) Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) is often called "bad cholesterol" because it can lead to plaque buildup in your arteries. A calculated LDL level helps pinpoint your risk for atherosclerosis and heart disease.

Why is it Important?

A cholesterol check gives you a clear view of your heart health, helping you to take preventive measures before issues arise. Regular cholesterol checks are recommended as part of an annual health screening, especially if you have a family history of heart disease, are overweight, or have high blood pressure.

When Should You Get Tested?

Your healthcare provider might suggest regular cholesterol screenings for individuals who:
  • Are over the age of 40
  • Have a history of high cholesterol or heart disease
  • Are managing conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, or obesity
  • Want to proactively monitor your heart health

Prepare for Your Cholesterol Test

It is often recommended to fast for 9-12 hours for the most accurate results, although some options are available that do not require fasting. Check with your healthcare provider for specific guidelines for you.
