Dyslipidemia happens when there’s too much fat or cholesterol in your blood, which can raise your risk of heart attack, stroke, or heart failure. This course is designed for people living with dyslipidemia — and for the family members and caregivers who support them.
Through six easy-to-follow modules, you’ll learn what dyslipidemia is, how it’s diagnosed, and what you can do to manage it. We’ll explain how cholesterol works in the body, what your test results mean, and how medications, food choices, and daily habits can help protect your heart.
What makes this course unique is that it’s built with insights from patients and caregivers who live with dyslipidemia and other heart conditions. Their voices and experiences guide each topic, helping you see what real-world management looks like — and how to stay motivated when it feels hard.
By the end of the course, you’ll understand your condition, know what questions to ask your care team, and feel confident taking steps to manage your risk and live well with dyslipidemia.
