Why lower cholesterol?
An abundance of low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) is dangerous because it contributes to a condition called atherosclerosis, or plaques in the coronary arteries. High LDLs causes deposition of the fatty streak inside of the coronary arteries is easily damaged by high LDLs and other factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and smoking. The fatty streaks progress to fibrous plaques, then to bleeding lesions, then to artery-occluding hardened lesions. This process not only makes the original lesion bigger but also leads to blood clots formation with the lesion rupture, thus causing a heart attack.
