What is the LDL Cholesterol test?
The LDL Cholesterol test measures the level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in your blood. LDL is a form of lipoprotein in your blood. Lipoproteins are particles that transport fats through the bloodstream since fats cannot move on their own. Often referred to as "bad cholesterol," LDL carries cholesterol to the arteries. Elevated LDL levels can result in plaque accumulation in the blood vessels, which increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. This test helps assess your risk for cardiovascular problems by showing how much LDL cholesterol is in your blood Getting an LDL Cholesterol test is a simple and effective way to assess your heart health. Regular testing can help you monitor your cholesterol levels and take preventive measures to reduce the risk of heart disease.
