Heart-To-Heart: Ben’s Blog
Every Sunday, I’ll be highlighting someone’s experience with cardiovascular disease. It’s a good reminder that heart disease is about real, live people, not just numbers and technical info.
This past week, Ben got the results of his cholesterol test back.
My LDL is sitting at a cool 54, while my HDL is at a very nice 145. but, what do those numbers mean?? WebMD says that HDL should be above 60. check. But more importantly, less than 100 LDL is optimal. check.
Congratulations!
