Researchers found that 37 percent of Americans with diseases that affect the heart and vascular system had reached recommended levels of LDL-C (bad cholesterol), but only 17 percent were at recommended levels for all lipids – LDL-C, HDL-C (“good” cholesterol) and triglycerides. In contrast, 85 percent of those without cardiovascular diseases were at recommended LDL-C levels, while 67 percent were at recommended levels for all lipids. 

What do we need to do to decrease our risk levels? Control your weight, blood pressure and blood lipid levels through good lifestyle habits and minimal stress. I do not know what to say about stress because that gets tough and is hard to control but it is important to minimize- I should practice what I preach, haha.

High cholesterol needs to be controlled better among patients with high blood pressure

• CADUET can be taken anytime, day or night, with or without food.

• CADUET offers every dose combination of Norvasc and Lipitor for flexible dosing options (excluding 1 combination: CADUET 2.5 mg/80 mg).
• CADUET is available on many managed care plans nationwide.

It is like killing 2 birds with 1 stone- with only one co-pay.  Have you tried it? Or do you know someone that has? How did they make out? I would love some feedback.
