What does it mean if you have high LDL-P?
LDL-P stands for 'LDL-Particles' (as opposed to LDL-C which is LDL-Cholesterol). It's measured with a blood test commonly called "the particle test", and your LDL-P tells you the number of LDL particles in your blood. Usually LDL-P is measured along with LDL-C to obtain a more complete, detailed measure of cardiovascular risk - some doctors believe that particle levels as well as total cholesterol matter. Treatment strategies differ depending on the relationship between LDL-P and LDL-C, so there's not a 'cut and dried' target number for LDL-P (as there is for LDL-C).
What is Borderline high risk LDL cholesterol?

What does LDL have to do with heart attacks?
The most important one are Low Density Protestations (LDL) and High Density Protestations (HDL). The LDL carries most of the cholesterol in the blood and this LDL cholesterolis commonly referred to as "bad cholesterol". When the level is too high in the blood, the excess is deposited on the wall of the arteries. This can contribute to the narrowing on blockage of the coronary arteries, leading to the development of heart disease.
Why are your HDL and triglicerides low and your LDL is high?
In normal person level of HDL should be high because it is HIGH DENSITY LIPID which are good for the body and if LDL( low density lipid) id high means u are hyperlipidemia. So you have to go for anti-hyperlipidimic drugs
Will eating certain high cholesterol foods cause a rise in my LDL levels?

What lipoprotein is responsible for transporting cholesterol back to the liver form the periphery?
