 Reason for high LDL levels needs to be evaluated (factors can include genetics, diet, and HIV drugs) so that treatment plan can be reasonably formulated. Diet and exercise is often first approach utilized. An assessment of cardiac risk is important to prioritize the problem. Other cardiac risk factors (notably smoking) need to be assessed and addressed if risk is moderate to high. KH | ||||||||
