Lipidology

We assess cholesterol values together with your personal cardiovascular risk and possible hereditary causes, and set an appropriate treatment target on that basis.

Diagnostics and target values

The guidelines of medical societies form the basis. The assessment includes HDL, LDL, triglycerides, lipoprotein(a) and other risk factors.

Lipoprotein(a) is a largely inherited risk factor. European guidelines recommend measuring it at least once in adulthood.

When treatment is required, target values are defined according to the treat-⁠to-target principle and monitored over time.
