Managing Cholesterol

Heart UK and the Academic Health Sciences Networks (AHSN) have teamed up with NHS England to help give patients helpful advice about managing their cholesterol, and the steps that can be taken if their cholesterol levels are high.

A series of animations (click here) and leaflets (click here) have been created with this advice.

Alongside the leaflets are a number of great resources:

• Explaining blood fats, cholesterol, statins and Familial Hypercholesterolaemia (FH)
• A guide to healthy eating
• A guide to lowering the risk of heart attacks
• Food charts to help families and children living with FH
• Guides on staying active and eating healthy for families and children living with FH
• The Ultimate Cholesterol Lowering Plan
