Silent Signs Cholesterol Misses
A normal cholesterol report doesn't always mean the arteries are clear. Homocysteine, a byproduct of protein metabolism, builds up quietly in the blood and damages artery walls from the inside, long before any lipid panel flags a problem. Most routine blood work skips it entirely.
Elevated homocysteine accelerates plaque formation in coronary arteries and raises clot risk, even in people with decent LDL numbers. A Cardiologist In Bhosari like Dr. Prashant Shinde checks for this alongside standard markers when a patient's risk profile doesn't quite match their basic reports.
Shwaas Cardiac Clinic is in Bhosari, close to the Bhosari MIDC stretch. If your cholesterol looks fine but you still have symptoms or a family history worth reviewing, calling to ask whether a broader cardiac workup makes sense is a reasonable next step.
