The Cholesterol LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) test measures the amount of LDL cholesterol in the blood, often referred to as “bad cholesterol.” High levels of LDL cholesterol can lead to plaque buildup in the arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and atherosclerosis. This test is essential for assessing cardiovascular health and guiding lifestyle or medication interventions. It is typically performed after fasting for 9–12 hours to ensure accurate results. Monitoring LDL levels helps physicians recommend dietary changes, physical activity, and treatments to maintain healthy cholesterol and reduce heart-related risks.
