What Is Bad Cholesterol (LDL-C)?

LDL cholesterol is often called “bad cholesterol.”

This is because it can build up in the walls of your arteries and form plaque. Plaque rupture may cause clogs, putting you at risk of a serious cardiovascular event, like a heart attack or stroke.

1
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is considered “bad” because it can deliver cholesterol into artery walls, forming fatty deposits known as plaque.
2
Plaque rupture can create clogs and make it difficult for blood to flow through your body.
3
Sometimes the clogs can completely block blood flow, leading to a devastating heart attack or stroke. Lowering LDL-C decreases the risk of plaque formation, therefore also reducing the risk of heart attack or stroke.

Why Is My Bad Cholesterol High?

There are many reasons why someone’s bad cholesterol levels would be high. Inactivity and an unhealthy diet can contribute to harmful levels. Other factors such as your genetic makeup or family history may make it more difficult for your body to remove or break down bad cholesterol.

How Do I Lower My Bad Cholesterol?

Diet improvements and increased exercise can help lower bad cholesterol, but sometimes you need to do more.

That’s why it’s important to talk to your doctor about lifestyle changes and cholesterol-lowering medicines to lower bad cholesterol and reduce risk of another devastating heart attack or stroke.
