About Hyperlipidaemia in Hyderabad
Hyperlipidaemia is a condition characterised by abnormally high levels of lipids, particularly cholesterol and triglycerides, circulating in the blood. Excess LDL cholesterol, often called "bad cholesterol," gradually deposits within artery walls, contributing to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques that narrow blood vessels over time. The condition is typically silent, producing no symptoms directly, and is usually identified through a routine blood test called a lipid profile. Left unmanaged over years, hyperlipidaemia significantly raises the risk of coronary artery disease, heart attack, and stroke. It is highly manageable through dietary changes, physical activity, and, when needed, cholesterol-lowering medication, making regular screening and early intervention valuable.
