This is a very good site to learn about heart and stroke related things.

Specifically this section deals with cholesterol: high blood cholesterol

It's okay. They caught it and he's going on meds... that's good, he didn't have a stroke or a heart attack.

To work with your cholesterol: Less alcohol, more healthy foods, and more "heart healthy" exercise. And make sure he takes his pills, that is very important.

Genetics do play a big part of having those types of issues, also because environmentally, what the parent eats... becomes the diet of the child, and then the likelihood of having health problems is there.

Hope that helps.
