Do you know your cholesterol number? What about the difference between HDL and LDL cholesterol? Nebraska Medical Center cardiologist/lipidologist Dr. Scott Shurmur explains what all of us should know about diet, exercise and the risk of heart attack and stroke that can come with high blood cholesterol.
High-density lipoprotein (HDL), also known as "good cholesterol", can help prevent narrowing or clogged arteries by removing bad cholesterol. However, Cleveland Clinic researchers have found that some enzymes in the blood can make HDL dysfunctional and increase the risk of plaque buildup and heart problems.

Some individuals with normal cholesterol levels benefit from early intervention with a statin medication to prevent disability and premature death from coronary heart disease.
