My cost is almost 5,000 plus the doctors plus anestholist if necessary. Do you think this procedure is necessary to treat high colestrol?
Hi, dear I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Trade meal and nuclear scan is not necessary to treat high cholesterol level. These tests are done to check risk of myocardial infarction. High cholesterol can easily treated by drugs like atorvastatin or pravastatin. But it is a prescription based medicine so you should consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
