St. John Hospital Lipid Clinic

St. John Lipid Clinic is a multi-disciplinary team working to help patients reduce or eliminate risk factors associated with major heart disease. The clinic helps patients control their LDL by prescribing medications that can help reduce bad cholesterol. Clinical trials have shown that reducing the blood concentration of LDL-cholesterol (bad cholesterol) in persons with heart disease, diabetes mellitus or high blood pressure will reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke and the need for revascularization (heart bypass surgery or angioplasty) and hospitalization by 30 percent or more.
