Hyperlipidemia
A brief digest about this topic
Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that occurs naturally in all parts of the body. Your body needs some cholesterol to work properly. But if you have too much in your blood, it can stick to the walls of your arteries. This is called plaque. Plaque can narrow your arteries or even block them.
High levels of cholesterol in the blood can increase your risk of heart disease. Your cholesterol levels tend to rise as you get older. There are usually no signs or symptoms that you have high blood cholesterol, but it can be detected with a blood test. You are likely to have high cholesterol if members of your family have it, if you are overweight or if you eat a lot of fatty foods.
You can lower your cholesterol by exercising more and eating more fruits and vegetables. You also may need to take medicine to lower your cholesterol.

After completing his medical degree at Georgetown University, Richman moved
to his native home of Los Angeles to complete his general surgery residency at
the University of Southern California (USC) School of Medicine. He then
completed a fellowship in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery at Jackson
Memorial Hospital at the University of Miami.
Having performed nearly 1,000 cardiac bypass procedures throughout his
career, Richman has always maintained a strong interest in the preventative
aspect of cardiac care, namely cholesterol (lipid) management. As a
long-standing member of the National Lipid Association, Richman started The
Center for Cholesterol Management in August 2005 in order to focus exclusively
on preventative care and management for those who may be at risk for heart
disease.
The Center for Cholesterol Management provides state-of-the-art diagnosis
and treatment for patients with lipid disorders. This multi-disciplinary team
approach to lipid treatment comprises the efforts of physicians, nurses,
dietitians, and physical therapists to offer preventative and management care
for patients with high cholesterol, heart disease and those at risk for
developing coronary artery disease." /> Michael Richman, MD, FACS, FCCP Physician, Active Health Library, Doctor, and Surgeon
