Explaining HDL Cholesterol Ratio From HFL Solutions
Posted on 22. Nov, 2009 by Dr. Sam Robbins in Medications
HDL cholesterol should be high compared to LDL. You can reduce cholesterol when the HDL cholesterol is higher than the LDL. HDL or High Density Lipoproteins move through the bloodstream and remove bad cholesterol from blood vessels so it can be carried back to the liver and removed from the body. CholesLo can help raise the HDL cholesterol ratio.
You can predict someone’s risk of developing atherosclerosis with the number of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol ratio. The number is acquired by dividing the total cholesterol value by the value of the HDL cholesterol. You will find that high ratios indicate higher risks of heart attacks where as low ratios indicate lower risk.
It is undesirable when high total cholesterol and low HDL cholesterol increases the ratio. However, it is desirable when high HDL cholesterol and low total cholesterol lowers the ratio.
About 4.5 is the average ratio. You want it to be better than average. Therefore, the best ratio would be 2 or 3, less than 4.
LDL/HDL is another ratio. This ratio is a purer ratio than total cholesterol HDL. LDL is a measure of bad cholesterol and HDL is a measure of good cholesterol. The total cholesterol is the sum of HDL and LDL. Add up those values you have the total cholesterol measurement.
The LDL/HDL ratio is more accurate and pure than the total cholesterol HDL ratio. The LDL/HDL is often used because the total cholesterol is easier and less expensive to get then the LDL cholesterol level.
Obtaining an LDL of less than 80-100 is vital no matter what the HDL value is, especially if there are risk factors for coronary artery disease, tobacco use, hypertension and diabetes. It is important that a patient with coronary artery disease, history of bypass surgery or stents to have an LDL of less than 80.
CholesLo is endorsed by doctors and clinically proven to reduce cholesterol in as little as one week! Among the advantages of CholesLo, it reduces both cholesterol and triglycerides, increases HDL cholesterol ratio, and can help repair the liver. CholesLo also reduces homocysteine levels. High homocysteine levels are very closely related to predicting heart disease.
