Don’t just look at your total cholesterol. Look at your bad cholesterol or LDL, and aim for the ideal target. What is “normal” for one person may be too high for you. 🫀

*For those who have had a heart attack, stroke, angioplasty or bypass surgery, lowering your LDL to less than 55 mg/dl has been shown to be better at preventing future heart attacks or strokes.

LDL cholesterol, the “bad” cholesterol, can cause fatty buildup in the arteries. High LDL can raise the risk of heart attack or stroke, but often has no symptoms. A simple blood test can tell you your LDL number. Various research studies have shown when it comes to LDL, "lower is better."

Meet Ate Rose, also known as ATHEROSCLEROSIS!

It is a condition where cholesterol plaque starts to clog the blood flow in the blood vessels. It can occur in the heart (Coronary Artery Disease or CAD) which can cause chest pain or shortness of breath and lead to a heart attack. It can occur in the carotid arteries of the neck and the arteries of the brain (Cerebrovascular Disease) where it can be silent for a while until it causes a stroke. Or it can happen in the blood vessels of the arms and legs (Peripheral Artery Disease or PAD) where it can lead to claudications (leg pain while walking), or in severe cases, limb ischemia and amputation. One disease, different organs.

If with risk factor for atherosclerosis (High blood pressure, High cholesterol, High sugar, History of smoking), and especially if with symptoms, consult your doctor about early detection and treatment.
