Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

LDL cholesterol is the "bad" cholesterol that can build up on the walls of your arteries and form plaque. A high LDL level raises your risk for heart disease and stroke. The LDL cholesterol test measures the amount of LDL cholesterol in your blood.

There are a few different diseases that can be diagnosed with an LDL cholesterol test. The most common is atherosclerosis, which is a hardening and narrowing of the arteries. This can lead to heart disease, stroke, and other problems. Other diseases that can be diagnosed with this test include:

-CAD (coronary artery disease)
-CHD (congenital heart disease)
-PAD (peripheral artery disease)

If you have risk factors for heart disease such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or a family history of heart disease, your doctor may recommend testing.

If you have been advised by your doctor to take a lipid profile or LDL cholesterol test, it is important to prepare properly for the test to ensure accurate results. Here are some tips on how to prepare for an LDL cholesterol test:

• Avoid fatty foods, alcohol, and strenuous exercise for 24 hours before the test.
• Be sure to inform your doctor of any medications you are taking, as some may affect the results of the test.
