High cholesterol causes no symptoms but leads to the build-up of fatty deposits in your arteries (atherosclerosis), increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. It is one of the most treatable risk factors in cardiology.
Book a cholesterol check if you have a family history of early heart disease, high cholesterol, or heart attacks. Dr Wamil can also assess inherited conditions such as familial hypercholesterolaemia.
Book a private consultation with Dr Wamil in London or Oxford for a thorough assessment and a clear, personalised care plan.
Book a consultationCauses include diet, weight, lack of activity, and genetics. Some people inherit high cholesterol (familial hypercholesterolaemia), which needs specialist management.
Assessment includes a blood lipid profile, blood pressure check, and sometimes a CT coronary calcium scan to assess the impact on your arteries.
Treatment includes lifestyle changes and medication such as statins, ezetimibe or newer therapies. Dr Wamil provides expert, evidence-based guidance — including advice on statin safety.
