First-line treatments
Cardiovascular Exercise Program
Regular aerobic exercise such as walking, cycling, or swimming helps improve lipid profiles and supports overall cardiovascular health. Exercise should be performed at moderate intensity for at least 150 minutes weekly.
Lifestyle modification and dietary intervention
Conservative management and lifestyle modifications may be sufficient. Monitor symptoms.
Heart-Healthy Diet Modification
Adoption of a Mediterranean or DASH-style diet emphasizing fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins while limiting saturated fats and cholesterol. This dietary approach supports healthy lipid metabolism.
Additional treatment options
Lipid Panel Monitoring
Regular blood testing to track cholesterol levels over time allows for assessment of treatment effectiveness and necessary adjustments to management strategies.
monitoringCholesterol-Lowering Medication
Pharmacological intervention with lipid-lowering agents may be considered when lifestyle modifications are insufficient. Medication choice depends on individual patient profiles and comorbidities.
medicationPlant Sterol Supplementation
Plant sterols and stanols found in certain fortified foods or supplements may help reduce cholesterol absorption in the intestines. These work synergistically with dietary modifications.
