That's not something you can directly calculate - otherwise people would never have heart attacks at all because we could predict who would be having one and when. The more "bad" cholesterol you have floating around, the greater chance you'll have a heart attack or stroke, but there is no direct formula for this.

∙ 6y agoAnother complication is that the body needs cholesterol to build healthy nerves and to make several important hormones.
There is also evidence that the "bad" cholesterol rich plaques that form in arteries would not deposit if the arterial wall tissue was fully healthy and undamaged. There seems to be some other as yet unknown disease process going on that causes damage long before these plaques form, making the plaques only a symptom rather than the promem itself. Identifying and solving this may prevent the so called "cholesterol" problem from ever being an issue.

What does it mean when you have had a massive heart attack and your heart is dead?
I means that you are posting this question from the Heaven. Hugs on the female angels. (I assume that your are kidding, if not, excuse-me).But, how can your heart is dead? Obviously this is a matter for a cardiologist. Well, you have to perform a lot of tests from now on, to determine your cholesterol and triglycerides' levels. But, it means that the muscles of your heart would have its strength decreased, and only the time can tell how long do you have to wait to completely recover its power. It's possible that you will have to receive a Coronary artery bypass surgery, and take Lipitor to keep your cholesterol levels at low numbers. If you are a smoker, you have necessarily to quit it.

How high does your cholesterol have to be to give you a heart attack?
I'll start by saying that there is no sure figure that will tell you when you'll get a heart attack.Cholesterol essential comes in two general forms; bad (LDL) and good (HDL)LDL cholesterol will clog arteries, whereas HDL will do the opposite, so it's a balance between the two types that determines risk.If you have a LDL level of 5.0 (mmol/L) or above, then you are at risk of a heart attack. If you have a cholesterol level of over 6.2 then you are at a high risk of hear attack.If you're above these, there's no telling how long it will be before you suffer a heart attack, if at all, but it is highly recommended that you take measures to lower your cholesterol if it is above 5.0. There are margarine spreads these days that can reduce your bad cholesterol.

Why is cholesterol really that bad?
cholesterol is bad..... think of cholesterol as oil that's in your bloodstream not really mixing with it cause its oil. now if that cholesterol finds any irregularities in the vessels and gets stuck then other chol. can attach to it and get stuck. now this may take years but eventually this closes off a vessel (usually in the heart) and then u have a heart attack and the tissue that was getting blood from blocked off artery dies. yes ... dead tissue in your heart.... ur right ... it doesnt sound good. 99% of everyone that has ever had a heart attack was because of cholesterol. don't ask about the 1%. but on the same token the liver makes chol. so you cant get rid of it all... u can only accentuate the good chol and suppress the bad chol.
