months and watching for side ef-
fects, such as muscle pain for peo-
ple who take statins.,
Dr. James Gordon, M.D., an
internist with a practice in South-
field, says that he treats about
five or six patients each day with
cholesterol problems.
Dr. Gordon tests patients for
cholesterol after they've fasted
overnight, using the recommen-
dations from the National Cho-
lesterol Education Program for
guidelines to determine whether
patients have high cholesterol.
"For patients without risk fac-
tors and no cardiovascular prob-
lems, the generally accepted
cutoff for elevated blood choles-
terol is a total cholesterol greater
than 240 mg/di.
"However, I get a more accu-
rate picture by obtaining a
lipoprotein analysis which breaks
down the total into the con-
stituents that actually damage
or protect the coronary arteries.
"For instance, low-density
lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol
greater than 130 to 160 mg/dl
(milligrams per deciliter) is a dan-
ger sign. In individuals who al-
ready have coronary disease,
LDL levels higher than 100 mg/d1
may be too high and I may ask
that they diet.
"My first line of attack is to
change the patients' eating habits
and to get them to exercise on a
regular basis in order to bring the
cholesterol level down," says Dr.
Gordon. "I usually refer them to
a dietician and get them regis-
tered for an exercise program to
lose weight.
"If their cholesterol level hasn't
been lowered after six months,
we talk about cholesterol-reduc-
ing medications. For patients who
already have had a heart attack
or for any who are more at risk
for cardiovascular disease, treat-
ment is more aggressive. I give
the diet six to 10 weeks to work
and then use medication;
Dr. Krakauer believes there
isn't a magic age when a patient
can stop worrying about choles-
terol.
"Cholesterol is not an illness of
itself, but it is a condition associ-
ated with disease and a number
of conditions need to be present
before treatment."
Individuals with very high cho-
lesterol levels should first check
with their physician for treat-
ment. Individuals who want to
control or lower their cholesterol
level should begin with a moder-
ately low-fat diet. That diet
should limit total fat to 30 per-
cent of all calories, and more im-
portantly limit saturated fat, the
kind found in meat and dairy
foods, to 10 percent of calories.
If that doesn't work, try a more
stringent diet restricting satu-
rated fat to 7 percent. The more
restrictive the regimen, the more
important it is to consult with
your physician and a dietician. 0
