, October 1, 2007 — A Kimball Medical Center
heart specialist has joined a select group of New Jersey physicians
who have earned a new national certification in cholesterol management.
Cardiologist Avinash C. Gupta, M.D., is among fewer than 340 U.S.
physicians to earn certification from the American Board of Clinical
Lipidology (ABCL) — a specialty that demonstrates a commitment
to the prevention of cardiovascular disease. The mission of the
ABCL is to reduce the rate of heart disease and death from cholesterol
disorders known as dyslipidemia.
“The specialty of lipidology, a multidisciplinary branch of
medicine focusing on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism and their
associated disorders, is still in its infancy and continues to evolve
with the field of medicine as a whole,” says Dr. Gupta, a
diplomate of the American boards of Cardiovascular Disease and Internal
Medicine who also holds board certification in nuclear cardiology.
He notes that the field of lipidology is growing rapidly in response
to demographic trends that place an increasing number of Americans
at risk for coronary heart disease (CHD) and epidemic levels of
obesity.
To learn more about Dr. Gupta, call Kimball Medical Center at
