LDL: The "Bad" Cholesterol
LDL cholesterol transports cholesterol to areas in the body as needed, which in itself isn't bad, except when there's too much LDL. When you have too much LDL in the bloodstream, the LDL cholesterol can leave fatty deposits (plaque) that build up in the arteries. On top of that, LDL can cause the artery walls to become narrow and unstable. The blockages caused by LDL restricts the supply of blood to the heart, brain, kidneys, extremities, and genitals.The negative effects of high LDL cholesterol includes:
- blocked arteries;
- chest pain (angina);
- heart attacks;
- irregular heart rhythm;
- high blood pressure;
- stroke; and
- mental impairment.
