Family Diagnosis:
High-Density lipoprotein (HDL) is good cholesterol—it helps carry low-density lipoprotein (LDL) (bad cholesterol) away from your blood vessel walls. It’s healthy to have a high HDL-C level.
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is sometimes call 'bad' cholesterol, or 'lousy' cholesterol. A high LDL cholesterol level can raise your risk for coronary artery disease, heart attack, and stroke. LDL cholesterol carries mostly fat and only a small amount of protein from the liver to other parts of the body.
Systolic pressure is the pressure in your blood vessels as your heart beats (when your heart muscle contracts). It’s the first number in a blood pressure reading. For example, if your blood pressure is 120/80 millimetres of mercury (mm Hg), then your systolic pressure is 120 mmHg.
These are diseases that involve the heart or blood vessels. This means a heart attack, angina, heart surgery, stroke or mini-stroke (TIA).
Total cholesterol is a measurement of all the cholesterol in your blood. It includes high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and triglycerides.
