An analysis revealed that a hospitalized elderly patient with a history of MI had high levels of Low-density Lipoprotein (LDL), suggesting a risk of developing Hyperdyslipidemia/ Coronary Artery Disease (Artherosclerosis).

What occurs when there are elevated levels of LDL?

  • LDL cholesterol is known as "bad" cholesterol because it builds up in the walls of your blood vessels, raising your risk of health problems such as a heart attack or stroke.
  • Cholesterol, on the other hand, is not wholly bad.
  • Your body needs it to protect its neurons and manufacture healthy cells and hormones.
  • Some of your cholesterol comes from the foods you eat, while the remainder is made by your liver.
  • Proteins take it to its location since it does not disintegrate in blood.
  • These carriers are known as lipoproteins.
  • A blood test may assess LDL, HDL, and total cholesterol levels.
  • Triglycerides, a kind of fat that retains excess energy from the diet, are also tested.
