Cholesterol: Dr. Jonathan Morrell.
Cholesterol is broken down into a few different numbers when you see your blood test. The LDL is the bad cholesterol. The HDL is the good cholesterol, and the Triglycerides is the fat in the blood. This animated video reviews the goals for these types of cholesterol.
Cholesterol-why you should know your levels: Dr. Christpher Cannon, a cardiologist at the Brigham and Women's hospital in Boston, discusses cholesterol. The different types of cholesterol, and levels you should know for your health.
Consequences of high cholesterol: Dr. Spencer King and other well known cardiologists discuss the problems that are associated with having high cholesterol. These include coronary artery disease, peripheral vascular disease and stroke.
High HDL does not protect all from heart disease: Dr. Stanley Hazen, MD, PhD, a cardiologist at the Cleveland Clinic, discusses a new trial that showed that some people with a high HDL were not protected from developing coronary artery disease.
LDL, or low density lipoprotein, is commonly referred to as the "bad cholesterol". The goal level for LDL depends on your number of risk factors for heart disease, or if you alreay have coronary disease. Drs. Spencer King, and Nanette Wenger discuss the treatment of LDL.
