“To fast or not to fast?” When it comes to cholesterol screening, that is the question. Rachel Shustak, MD, and Jordy Martino, MSN, CRNP, an attending cardiologist and a nurse practitioner with the Lipid Heart Clinic at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, respectively, provide answers to that age-old question plus non-pharmacologic approaches proven to lower cholesterol levels; and more.
