Lipid & Cholesterol Clinics

Lipid & Cholesterol Clinics

Customised Care for Those with High LDL or Triglyceride Levels

At KidsHeart Medical Center, we offer dedicated lipid and cholesterol management for adults concerned about cardiovascular risk.

Our specialized clinics provide tailored evaluations and treatment plans for individuals with abnormal cholesterol profiles, including high LDL (bad cholesterol), low HDL (good cholesterol), or elevated triglycerides.
This service is part of our broader Adult Cardiology Program, and is available across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Al Ain.

What Are Lipid Disorders?

Lipid disorders involve imbalances in fats carried in the blood.

The key markers we monitor are:

  • LDL cholesterol – too high, and it can lead to plaque buildup in arteries
  • HDL cholesterol – too low, and it may not protect your heart
  • Triglycerides – elevated levels increase the risk of heart attack and stroke

These abnormalities can be silent for years, until they cause serious cardiac events.

When Should You Visit a Lipid Clinic?

You should consider a focused lipid evaluation if you:

  • Have high cholesterol or triglycerides in your blood tests
  • Have a family history of early heart disease or high cholesterol
  • Are living with diabetes, obesity, or metabolic syndrome
  • Have had a previous heart attack, stroke, or stent placement
  • Take cholesterol medication and need dose adjustment or re-evaluation
  • Want to prevent heart disease before it starts

Even if your numbers aren’t alarming yet, we can help prevent them from rising.
