Hypercholesterolemia Prognosis
The prognosis of hypercholesterolemia depends on the person’s age, sex, family history, and willingness to follow a treatment program. The statins in particular have greatly improved a person’s ability to lower his or her risk of coronary heart disease. The United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) has estimated that five to seven years of treatment with statins can lower the risk of heart disease by 30 percent.
