In this interview, Dr. Krychtiuk<\/a> explains the link between cholesterol and cardiovascular disease: What role do blood lipids play in the development of atherosclerosis? Why is high cholesterol such a significant risk factor for heart attacks and strokes? And just as important: He emphasizes how crucial good education is\u2014because a lot of \u201cfake news\u201d is circulating about cholesterol, which can unsettle those affected and deter them from seeking effective treatment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
