Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Coronary Heart Disease – Lower is Better

Professor Dr M Breuer Hans-Willi

Open full text 11 citations

Abstract

Studies have consistently shown that coronary heart disease (CHD) risk is correlated closely with low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels. The lower the LDL cholesterol, the lower the cardiovascular (CV) risk; however, there is a question over how much LDL cholesterol lowering is low enough and what supporting evidence there is for this.
