Knowing if you’re high-risk or not can help you figure out the right screening schedule and best preventive steps to take .“The thing with high cholesterol is you wouldn’t know you have it without getting it tested,” says Dr. Steinbaum. “It’s often called the ‘silent killer’ due to its lack of symptoms.”
