It provides health care professionals with the information they need to make informed decisions about treatment and help patients live healthier lives.
The Cholestech LDX™ System offers a wide range of tests, including total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and glucose. This allows health care professionals to get a comprehensive view of a patient's lipid profile and make informed decisions about treatment.
This allows health care professionals to identify cardiovascular and diabetes health risks immediately and make informed decisions about treatment.
It is used by health care professionals in thousands of physician offices, hospitals, and wellness programs nationwide.
The Cholestech LDX™ System is certified by the CDC's Lipid Standardization Program (LSP) and Cholesterol Reference Method Laboratory Method Network (CRMLN) programs, which are the lipid testing accuracy standards. This means that the results from the system are as accurate as those from a laboratory test.
It requires a small sample of blood and can be used with fingerstick sampling. The system also has automated checks and calibrations to help ensure accurate results and eliminate user error. The Cholestech LDX™ System is a fast, accurate, and easy-to-use system that provides health care professionals and patients with the information they need to manage their cholesterol and glucose levels.
When patients inquire about cholesterol, it's an opportunity to impart knowledge and empower them towards informed decision-making. Emphasize the importance of maintaining optimal cholesterol levels through lifestyle modifications, including dietary adjustments, regular exercise, and, when necessary, pharmacological interventions.
Cholesterol stands as a cornerstone of cardiovascular health, wielding significant influence over a patients' well-being. As medical professionals entrusted with guiding patients towards optimal health, it's imperative to grasp the intricacies of cholesterol and its pivotal role in the human body.
At its core, cholesterol is a lipid molecule vital for various physiological functions, ranging from cell membrane integrity to hormone synthesis. Synthesized predominantly in the liver, cholesterol also finds its way into our systems through dietary sources, notably animal products.
Beyond its structural role, cholesterol plays a nuanced part in cardiovascular health. While indispensable in moderate amounts, elevated levels of certain cholesterol fractions, particularly low-density lipoproteins (LDL), pose significant risks. LDL cholesterol, often dubbed the "bad cholesterol," can infiltrate arterial walls, setting the stage for atherosclerosis–a precursor to heart disease and stroke.
Conversely, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol emerges as a protective entity, scavenging excess cholesterol from circulation and ferrying it back to the liver for disposal. The balance between LDL and HDL cholesterol serves as a crucial determinant of cardiovascular risk.
