I gotta just suggest that Trigs and HDL may be more significant than LDL. And voice a concern about the side-effects of Statins.
LDL is by volume... but LDL comes in different sized particles... Beyond Routine Cholesterol Testing: The Role of LDL Particle Size Assessment Quote:
by Paul E. Lemanski, MD, MS, director of the Center for Preventive Medicine and Cardiovascular Health, Prime Care Physicians, P.C., and assistant clinical professor of medicine at Albany Medical College
...
A growing body of evidence suggests that LDL particles that are small and dense are more atherogenic than those which are large and “fluffy.” Thus, two patients with the same LDL measurement in mg/dl may have differing levels of cardiovascular risk depending on the relative proportions of small, dense and large, fluffy particles.
...
Individuals with [Triglycerides] below 70 do not have small, dense LDL.
