The Rogosin Institute
Lipid Disorders – Adult
Treatment
Our adult program focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of cholesterol and triglyceride disorders to prevent heart disease and stroke or reverse existing arterial disease.
Optimal therapy for cholesterol-related diseases is based on establishing a favorable ratio between LDL, which promotes cholesterol deposits and HDL, which promotes the removal of cholesterol. Individualized treatment at the CLCC may include diet and exercise modification, lipid-lowering medication, and, when necessary, referral for surgical therapy or LDL-apheresis.
Patients of the CLCC receive:
- Comprehensive medical history and physician exam by a lipid expert
- Interpretation of the fasting lipid profile and recommendations for additional testing such as lipoprotein (a), apololipoprotein B and carotid wall thickness by ultrasound (IMT)
- Comprehensive dietary analysis and individualized dietary instruction by a registered dietitian with over 20 years experience in the treatment of lipid disorders, diabetes and weight control
- Supervised cholesterol and triglyceride lowering medicines, if needed
