Cholesterol is a soft, fat-like, waxy substance found in the bloodstream and in all your body's cells. It's normal to have cholesterol.
It's an important part of a healthy body because it's used for producing cell membranes and some hormones, and serves other needed bodily functions.
But too much cholesterol in the blood is a major risk for coronary heart disease, which leads to heart attack. It's also a risk factor for stroke. Hypercholesterolemia is the term for high levels of blood cholesterol.
There are some of the more commonly asked questions submitted to me regarding high cholesterol levels:

In general, the higher your LDL level and the more risk factors you have (other than LDL),
the greater your chances of developing heart disease or having a heart attack.
Some people are at high risk for a heart attack because they already have heart disease.
Other people are at high risk for developing heart disease because they have diabetes
(which is a strong risk factor) or a combination of risk factors for heart disease.
Follow these steps to find out your risk for developing heart disease.
