Glossary of Diseases and Conditions

Cholesterol is a waxy substance produced by the liver to preserve nerves, create tissue, and manufacture numerous hormones. Cholesterol is also obtained through the foods we eat, such as cooking oils, eggs, meats, and dairy products. Cholesterol in excess is harmful to our health. ‘Bad cholesterol’ and ‘good cholesterol’ are the two forms of cholesterol. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and triglycerides (TG) are bad cholesterol, whereas high-density lipoprotein (HDL) is healthy cholesterol (HDL). Raised or high cholesterol levels are usually accompanied with a substantial accumulation of cholesterol in the arteries (plaque) or a cardiac blockage. Chest pain (angina), heart attack, or stroke can all be caused by a blocked artery or plaque buildup in the arteries of the heart. As a result, comprehensive cholesterol tests (lipid profile tests) should be done at least once a year. It will assist you in keeping a close eye on your heart health and the risk of a heart attack or stroke.
