The test for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is used as part of a lipid profile to predict an individual's risk of developing heart disease. Of all the forms of cholesterol in the blood, the LDL cholesterol is considered the most important form in determining risk of heart disease.
LDL helps cause atherosclerosis, a hardening of the veins that leads to plaque build-up and heart attacks. This blood test panel measures levels of: Total Cholesterol: The total amount of cholesterol in your blood. HDL - Good Cholesterol: High-Density Lipoprotein cholesterol, this type of cholesterol helps to remove LDL from your blood.
