Why is Cholesterol Screening Vital?
It is easy to brush off the importance of cholesterol testing. After all, what’s the big deal? Well, to keep it simple, cholesterol lets your doctor know if you have a buildup of plaque in your arteries, leading to heart disease. And these staggering statistics from the CDC clue us into just how significant a problem heart disease is in the US.
- About 6.2 million adults in the United States have heart failure.4
- In 2018, heart failure was mentioned on 379,800 death certificates (13.4%).4
- Heart failure costs the nation an estimated $30.7 billion in 2012.4 This total includes the cost of health care services, medicines to treat heart failure, and missed days of work.4
By monitoring your cholesterol, especially if you have a family history of high cholesterol, you can make healthier lifestyle decisions and reduce your risk of heart disease.
Let's Talk About Testosterone
Testosterone plays an essential role in men’s health but particularly sexual health. This is one of those topics that are uncomfortable to talk about with your doctor. However, when experiencing problems with fertility or libido, testosterone will be one of the first tests needed to diagnose and treat the issue accurately.
