What it is
LDL cholesterol is one measured lipid-panel component; MedlinePlus describes LDL as a main source of artery blockages.[1]
Why it matters
High LDL can contribute to plaque buildup in arteries, which can narrow or block blood flow.[1]
What it affects
- LDL is read together with HDL, triglycerides, total cholesterol, age, blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, and clinical history.[1]
Interpretation traps
- BioConst does not give personal lipid targets or medicine decisions.[1]
