As LDL-cholesterol levels rise, there is a linear and significant increase in the prevalence of atherosclerosis, ranging from 11% in the 60 to 70 mg/dl category to 64% in the 150 to 160 mg/dl subgroup (p < 0.001). A similar pattern is observed for the multiterritorial extent of athero...
lipoprotein. Like all fats, cholesterol can't dissolve in blood, which is mostly water, so it attaches itself to a protein. 'Lipo' means fat, thus 'lipoprotein'. The protein acts like a bus, traveling around the body via the bloodstream and taking the LDL cholesterol where it needs to ...
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, often referred to as "bad" cholesterol, is the type that tends to deposit on the walls of the arteries. White blood cells combine with the LDL cholesterol, forming artery-narrowing plaque, which restricts blood flow. The optimal level of LDL cholestero...

LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, even those within the range currently considered normal, are associated with subclinical atherosclerosis in the absence of conventional cardiovascular risk factors, according to new data from the PESA study. "Our findings suggest that the 'normal' LDL-C levels we ...
