Symptoms Of High Cholesterol

High cholesterol usually causes no symptoms - it is detected by blood tests. Complications include angina or heart attack, stroke (FAST), and peripheral artery disease; lifestyle changes and medications can lower risk.

Atorvastatin (Lipitor) provides cardiovascular benefits beyond LDL lowering - reduced recurrent heart attack and stroke risk, lower postoperative atrial fibrillation, and benefit in coronary disease. Evidence in heart failure is mixed. Discuss dosing and safety with your clinician.
