Answer 2

Gee, Low Density Lipoprotein isn't it? Sometimes it can cause heart disease due to accumulation of fats in the arteries that may lead to blockage.If you're living a healthy lifestyle, I doubt that you may had a high cholesterol levels. Because sometimes the number one cause of LDL was based on the Lifestyle of an individual. There are several treatments/ preventions 1) Diet Modification: Carbohydrates has also glucose; so abstain a bit, there should be an increase intake of PROTEIN since your protein levels are very low. Avoid NON-SATURATED FATTY foods like MEATS. If you want to use an oil if you're cooking then switch to canola, olive or vegetable oils (though its expensive). 2) Exercise: burn those calories, exercising enhances the heart muscles 3) Pharmacological Tx (treatments) First before taking the drugs, consult your physician (cardiologist) for further assessment and evaluation. All I know that drugs that has "Statin" were usually given to decrease levels of Lipids. Example Atorvastatin or the famous LIPITOR,NORVASC... 4) Monitoring of Lipid Levels (Lipid Profile; usually the doctor will give orders for laboratory test Hope I helped!!! Goodluck

Answer 4

To expand on the words of Lori T, to assess a disease risk, a disease risk evaluation and education tool, preferably implemented in logic on a computing device such as a Personal Digital Assistant, permits a user to input patient-specific data relevant to evaluating that patient's risk for a particular disease, e.g., coronary heart disease. The tool's logic calculates the equivalent age of the patient, based on the Framingham data set and on the input data, and presents one or more treatment recommendations. For details of this you would need to search at -
