Partly blocked vessel in high level of LDL (bad cholesterol) lipoprotein â isometric view 3d illustration

LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, sometimes called âbadâ cholesterol, makes up most of your bodyâs cholesterol. High levels of LDL cholesterol raise your risk for heart disease and stroke. HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, sometimes called âgoodâ cholesterol, absorbs cholesterol in the blood and carries it back to the liver. The liver then flushes it from the body. High levels of HDL cholesterol can lower your risk for heart disease and stroke.
