Cholesterol Good or Bad

 Cholesterol Good

  Or Bad

Both types exist good as wel as  bad

Good cholesterol technically called as

HDL Chol

And Bad cholesterol technically called

As LDL-Chol

 Recent retrospective study performed ref 1

Of 1351 patients with myocardial ischemia

Who underwent coronary angiography.

Results :

Higher LDL /HDL ratio was seen in  CAHD

Patients than controls

(2.94 +- 1.06  Vs 2.36+- 0.78 p lesss than .05)

Note normal range LDL/HDL.  2.5to3.5

CAHD ---Coronary atherosclerotic Heart

                  Disease

 Framingham study confirmed that low

Level of HDL-C increased the incidence

Of CAHD related events are regarded

As one of the indicators for cardiovascular

Disease.

        HDL-C {Good Cholesterol}

 can strengthen the surrounding 

Tissue of the arterial wall , preventing

Cholesterol deposition in arterial wall.

Conclusions :Decrease of HDL-C

And increase of LDL -C {Bad cholesterol}

May be involved in the progression of

Atherosclerosis and promote development of CAHD

Atherosclerosis a disease of the arteries

Characterized by the deposition 

Of fatty material on their inner walls.

Note  serum HDL low if less than 40mg/dl

           Serum LDL cholesterol  high 160 and Above
