Detailed explanation-1: -LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, sometimes called “bad” cholesterol, makes up most of your body’s cholesterol. High levels of LDL cholesterol raise your risk for heart disease and stroke.
Detailed explanation-2: -When there’s too much cholesterol in your blood, the LDL-cholesterol can combine with other substances to form plaque that coats artery walls, causing them to narrow. This condition, called atherosclerosis, increases your risk for cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke.
Detailed explanation-3: -High levels of total cholesterol (TC) and LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol (LDL-C) are both associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke, whereas low levels are associated with an increased risk of intracerebral hemorrhage.
