Your blood cholesterol level has a lot to do with your chances of getting coronary heart disease. More than 65 million Americans have high blood cholesterol. By itself, the condition usually has no signs or symptoms, so many people are unaware that their cholesterol level is too high.
This month, take time to get your blood cholesterol checked, and talk to your doctor about your other modifiable risk factors for heart disease.
You can control your risk for heart disease up to 82% just by living a healthy lifestyle.
Visit the American Heart Association website for additional tools and resources about cholesterol.
