What is High Cholesterol?

Cholesterol is a waxy substance found in your blood. Your body needs some cholesterol, but high levels of LDL ("bad") cholesterol can lead to plaque buildup in the arteries, raising your risk for heart attack, stroke, and peripheral artery disease.

Types of cholesterol:
  • LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein): The harmful type that causes plaque
  • HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein): The “good” cholesterol that helps remove LDL
  • Triglycerides: Fats that can also raise heart disease risk when elevated
