LDL Cholesterol
Low-density lipoprotein or LDL is also known as “bad cholesterol.” It plays a role in transporting cholesterol to the arteries. When your LDL level is too high, it would build up on the blood vessel walls as plaque, which eventually narrows the arteries and limit blood flow. As a result, people with increased LDL cholesterol amounts can be at higher risk of a stroke, heart attack, or blood clot. Since high cholesterol does not show any clear symptom, it is important to have a healthy lifestyle to keep this measurement in check. [4]
