Hello, an elevated total cholesterol level indicates that the patient has high blood lipid levels, which significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. The patient should take lipid-lowering medications as prescribed by their physician—such as rosuvastatin or lovastatin. Additionally, the patient should limit dietary fat intake and follow a light, low-fat diet. We hope this information is helpful. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
