Cholesterol/Triglyceride Disorders

LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglycerides (TG) are pivotal in assessing cardiovascular risk and cardiometabolic health. Their levels are influenced by genetics, diet, metabolic health, medications, and other medical conditions, making a personalized approach to treatment essential.

Triglycerides can provide important insight into metabolic health and are often elevated in people with insulin resistance, obesity and metabolic syndrome. Triglyceride-rich particles also carry cholesterol (often referred to as remnant cholesterol) that is not fully reflected by LDL-C and can contribute to plaque formation and cardiovascular risk.

At Advocare Princeton Cardiometabolic Health, we look beyond individual cholesterol numbers to understand your overall risk. We integrate your medical history and laboratory results with tools such as coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring, lipoprotein(a) and apolipoprotein B (ApoB) to develop an individualized approach to prevention and treatment.

Our goal is to empower you with a deeper understanding of your health, enabling informed decisions and personalized strategies to optimize your cardiometabolic well-being.
