Abnormal levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, also known as the "bad" kind of cholesterol, …can more than double the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
According to a study by Pusan National University on nearly 70-thousand patients with high cholesterol levels, …the incidence of such disorders in those specifically with high LDL cholesterol was 24-point-three per 100 person-years.
That is more than twice the figure for people with normal levels.
People who have experienced heart attacks or strokes are advised to lower their LDL cholesterol to 70 milligrams per deciliter.
