In under two minutes you can track cholesterol levels. Why wait and worry? Test yourself at home or in the office and be sure with CardioChek.
Regular tracking of cholesterol and triglycerides is important for many reasons.
- An excessively high level of lipids in your blood - a condition known as hyperlipidemia - can have a serious effect on your health as it increases your risk of having a heart attack or stroke
- Government advice recommends a target cholesterol level of less than 5. However, in the UK 2 out of 3 adults have a cholesterol level of 5 or above
- The risk of coronary heart disease also rises as the blood's cholesterol level increases. If other risk factors such as high blood pressure and smoking are present the risks are even greater.
Your physician can test your cholesterol and triglycerides, and you can test your levels between physicians visits using the CardioChek® cholesterol test system at home or even in the office. The higher your blood cholesterol level, the greater your risk for developing heart disease or having a heart attack. The CardioChek® home cholesterol test system is the first and only system that provides personal, at-home or point-of-care testing of total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides. |
