Low LDL cholesterol does not eliminate heart attack risk, cardiologist warns
Original: colesterol
A cardiologist writing in Brazil is warning that low LDL cholesterol does not mean zero cardiovascular risk. Even with a 'good' cholesterol test result, patients can still suffer a heart attack or stroke, as LDL is only one of several factors behind cardiovascular events. The message is a reminder that people with normal cholesterol readings should still monitor blood pressure, smoking, diabetes and other risks rather than assume they are protected.
Why now: Health guidance challenging the common assumption that normal cholesterol tests guarantee safety resonates with readers worried about heart disease.
