There is now more information available about cholesterol than ever before. What I can't understand is that we listen to the news each night on the radio and television and don't hear about this. Heart disease is a big killer in Australia and this could potentially save lives.
Let me explain just a little of the research. Think of two clients John and David. They both have elevated LDL levels and would both be normally prescribed a cholesterol lowering medication by the doctor. On further testing called LDL subfractions that measures the size of the LDL particles, John is found to have generally big sizes of LDL where David is found to have smaller LDL particules. The small particles have a greater potential due to their small size of penetrating the endothelium ( the inside of the artery walls). This is where the damage is done and David's risk factors are much higher than John's.
Traditional lipid profiles do not identify the risk of cardiovascular diseases that are caused by the presence of small dense LDL particles. Dangerous LDL particles may hide behind normal cholesterol levels and, conversely, elevated cholesterol levels do not inevitably have to be associated with a heart attack risk.
