High Cholesterol Levels…!

High cholesterol is a health issue where the levels of ‘bad’ (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides (TG) are high and ‘good’ (HDL) cholesterol are low than the desired values.

It is a common health problem for many Americans and one in six individual appeared to have borderline high cholesterol levels

Statistics…

High blood cholesterol levels increase your risk of blood vessel diseases and heart diseases such as coronary artery disease, heart attack and stroke. It’s a great hitch in staying healthy and long life.

Different Types of Cholesterol:

1. High density lipoprotein (HDL): In our body, small amount of cholesterol is transported as HDL in which more of protein and less of fat is present.

2. Low density lipoprotein (LDL):Most of the cholesterol in our body is transported as LDL which contains more of fat and less of protein. 

3. Triglycerides (TG): It’s a third type of lipid that mostly comes from fats that we ingest via food. 

The ratio of high cholesterol and total cholesterol is very important as far as the risk of heart diseases is concerned. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), the most desirable ratio is at least 5:1 which means if our total cholesterol is 250, our ‘good’ cholesterol should be 50. And the ideal cholesterol ratio is about 3.5:1.

Interpretations of Cholesterol Numbers:

Cholesterol levels can be interpreted as milligrams (mg) of cholesterol per deciliter (dL) of blood in the USA and other countries while they are interpreted as millimoles (mmol) per liter (L) of blood in Canada and most European countries. Let’s take a look at numbers and their interpretations for the above four types of cholesterol.

160-189 4.1-4.9 High

190 and above Above 4.9 Very high

200-499 2.3-5.6 High

500 and above 5.6 and above Very high

About Total Cholesterol:

Total cholesterol mg/dL (US) Total cholesterol mmol/L

(Canada) Interpretation

Below 200 Below 5.2 Desirable

200-239 5.2-6.2 Borderline high

240 and above Above 6.2 High

All these levels are suggested by MayoClinic which suggests that Canadian and European guidelines differ somewhat from U.S. guidelines and above conversions are based on U.S. guidelines.

What are the Causes of High Cholesterol ?

How Cholesterol Affects Our Health ?

1. Increased cholesterol and heart attack:-

When there is a clog in a coronary artery, heart gets too little oxygenated blood. Lack of enough oxygen in the blood causes our heart to become weak and dented. In its more severe form, if the plaque gets broken and opens up, it gives rise to a blood clot on the top of the buildup, further blocking blood flow.

2. High cholesterol and stroke:-

The buildup of plaque can also hinder the flow of blood and oxygen to our brain. And when artery providing blood to our brain gets completely blocked we get a stroke.
