If you've been told your LDL cholesterol levels are high, it's important to remember one thing: managing high cholesterol is not about blame. It's about taking action.

Whether your cholesterol levels are influenced by lifestyle, family history, or a combination of factors, there are practical steps you can take to protect your heart health.

✔️ Work with your healthcare team to understand your risk and discuss the best approach for you.
✔️ Make heart-healthy lifestyle changes, such as staying active, maintaining a healthy weight, following a balanced diet, stopping smoking and reducing alcohol.
✔️ Take any prescribed medication as directed.
✔️ Keep up with regular check-ups and cholesterol monitoring.

The good news? Most of these are things you can start right this week.

Ulrich had a heart attack at just 34 years old. At the time, he felt healthy, active, and focused on building his military career. He had no idea that high cholesterol was putting him at risk.

A transient ischemic attack (TIA) followed in 2001. Then, last year, a stent after recognising unusual symptoms and pushing for further investigation.
Rather than letting his diagnosis define him, he chose to take action.

Over the years, he has lost 25kg, stopped smoking, exercises five to six times a week, and in 2024 set up peer support groups for people living with cardiovascular conditions.

His message is simple: don't wait to be knocked down before you act. Know your numbers, follow your plan, and stay resilient. This chapter is still yours to shape with the right support.

A cardiovascular diagnosis is not the end of the story. What you do next makes all the difference.

October is World Mental Health Month, and it’s an opportunity to recognise an important part of living with heart disease that isn’t always visible: the impact on mental and emotional wellbeing.

Konstantinos Chortis knows this experience well. Born with a serious congenital heart condition, he underwent major heart surgery as a baby and later needed a pacemaker. While he has gone on to build a fulfilling life, he also describes the psychological challenges that accompanied his lifelong condition.

In his Heartfelt Story, Konstantinos reflects on childhood bullying, social anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and the impact his heart condition had on his family’s mental health.

His story is honest about the difficult moments, but it is also a story of resilience, support and hope.

As Konstantinos writes: “Even for very complicated and severe conditions today there is hope.”

During World Mental Health Month, we’re sharing his story to help highlight why mental health deserves to be part of the conversation around cardiovascular health.
