People whose LDL cholesterol is in the normal range—even those without metabolic risk factors—may yet have levels of apolipoprotein B (apoB) that predict an elevated risk of future atherosclerotic ...

DEAR DR. ROACH: My husband and I recently achieved the near impossible task of becoming attached to a family doctor! After many years without getting tested, our first order of business was a complete ...

Half of all myocardial infarctions (heart attacks) happen to those whose cholesterol level is considered "normal." This alone provides extremely good reasons for the elimination of reliance on ...

A novel molecular pathway to explain how a mutation in the gene ACTA2 can cause individuals in their 30s -- with normal cholesterol levels and no other risk factors -- to develop coronary artery ...

Having “normal” cholesterol levels is often seen as a green signal for good heart health, but growing evidence suggests otherwise. The long-held belief that normal LDL automatically means low cardiac ...

Whether significant reductions in LDL cholesterol and serum triglyceride levels will lead to significant reductions in coronary mortality when starting lipid values are "normal" is a multifaceted ...

LDL cholesterol alone doesn’t tell the full story. Doctors explain how Apo B and Lipoprotein(a) tests can reveal hidden heart attack risk.

When it comes to cholesterol, numbers matter. Too much of this fatty, waxy substance in your blood can lead to artery clogs that put you at risk for heart disease, a heart attack, or a stroke. You ...

Indians face heart attacks even with normal cholesterol due to a unique lipid pattern, low HDL, high triglycerides, insulin resistance, elevated lipoprotein(a), early plaque formation, and lifestyle ...

It may sound surprising: how can someone with perfect cholesterol still have a heart attack? But that’s exactly what longevity expert Dr. Vassily Eliopoulos, a Cornell-trained doctor, has been warning ...

In a recent study published in the journal JACC Advances, researchers in the United States examined the presence of coronary atherosclerosis using coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in ...

For decades doctors have been telling their patients that high levels of HDL, otherwise known as “good cholesterol,” could protect them from heart disease. But a new study suggests that having a lot ...
