From University of Rochester Medica Center: University of Rochester Medical Center cardiologists are first in Upstate New York to offer a blood-cleansing therapy for people with extremely high cholesterol, including two-time heart attack survivor Bob Guesno, whose cholesterol level was nearly three times the norm.
Heart & Vascular Center doctors have introduced apheresis to filter excess cholesterol from the body, providing a potentially life-saving reduction in the risk of stroke or heart attack for people with hypercholesterolemia.
