How are the concentrations of LDL and HDL associated with the risk for heart disease and associated disorders?

The concentrations of HDL and LDL in a person are vital to know because it can be the difference between life and death for some people. This especially is the case for cardiovascular diseases as the ratio between them can tell you how healthy the insides of your body are. If someone has a high concentration of LDL with lower concentrations of HDL they can be cognizant of the fact that they need to get on top of their eating habits. Because if they do nothing, their LDL’s can create plaque but the HDL won’t be able to keep up with the rate the LDL is going. The excess of plaque in the body can lead to many health problems, coronary heart disease being one.
