Understanding the Dangers of High Cholesterol
High cholesterol is not a disease, but
a condition that often leads to fatal complications. Too much 'bad cholesterol' (low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol or LDL-C) causes plaque build-up in your arteries, preventing blood flow to your
heart and brain, the leading cause of
heart attack or stroke.
On the other hand, a higher level of
'good cholesterol' (high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol or HDL-C),
a non-plaque forming cholesterol is
good for your health and decreases
your risk of heart disease.
Simply put, a higher HDL-C to LDL-C
ratio means better cholesterol health.
