## Resource

For High Blood Pressure Education month, we’re dedicating our May episode to both this condition – which affects nearly half of all adults in the U.S – and high cholesterol. Why both? When combined, they significantly raise the risk of heart disease, stroke and other serious illnesses. So, we’re happy to welcome Dr. Mary Gover, a general internist at Montefiore Einstein Advanced Care, to help us understand the connection between high blood pressure and high cholesterol and offer steps we can take to successfully manage – or prevent – both conditions. Dr. Gover also explains the new guidelines recently issued for cholesterol and shares treatment options that range from healthy lifestyle changes to medication to a combination of the two.
