Eating a diet high in saturated fat and trans fat may contribute to high cholesterol and related conditions, such as heart disease.
Not getting enough physical activity can make you gain weight, which can lead to high cholesterol.
Smoking damages your blood vessels, making them more likely to collect fatty deposits. Smoking may also lower high-density lipoprotein (HDL, or “good”) cholesterol levels. If you don’t smoke, don’t start.

Patient Toolkit Introduction

Welcome to the IMPACT Patient Toolkit, a resource center for patients who have been diagnosed with hypercholesterolemia. Better outcomes are achieved when patients are empowered to advocate for themselves and have the background knowledge to fully participate in treatment decisions. This toolkit provides links with information about current treatment options, advice and tips on living with hypercholesterolemia, and answers to frequently asked questions.
