Common symptoms: it usually causes no discomfort; in some cases fat deposits appear visible under the skin or around the eyes.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist, the general practitioner, the vascular surgeon, and the nutritionist can take part in its evaluation and in guidance on habits. If blood tests show high cholesterol, it is advisable to discuss it with a health professional.
