How is hypercholesterolemia diagnosed when it is so dangerous?

  I. Cholesterol is directly involved in the formation of atherosclerosis, which can lead to coronary heart disease, stroke, etc. Therefore, hypercholesterolemia is very dangerous; II. “Good” cholesterol: high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), which transports excess cholesterol out of the arteries and back to the liver. As a result, it prevents atherosclerosis and reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.  The “bad” cholesterol: low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), although the body needs a certain amount of LDL-C, the excess LDL-C will burrow into the artery walls and deposit into plaques, forming atherosclerosis.  Third, each person’s specific situation is different, and the diagnostic criteria are also different , should be based on their actual situation to determine whether they have hypercholesterolemia.
