Coronary Heart Disease – Causes, Symptoms & Treatments

Abnormal Cholesterol Levels

Low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), also known as good cholesterol, and high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), also known as bad cholesterol, are major risk factors for coronary heart disease. An additional risk is a high level of triglyceride. It is important to keep these measurements in check to ensure your cardiovascular health. This can be achieved through diet and physical exercises. If your cholesterol levels are too high or too low, a doctor might also suggest an effective treatment plan. [2]
