Need Information: LDL and HDL particles enter the artery wall and affect risk of heart disease. More than cholesterol, CVD is related to the number of LDL (LDL-P) and HDL particles (HDL-P). Because cholesterol in LDL and HDL particles is highly variable cholesterol levels often disagree with particle number. When cholesterol and particle number disagree cvd risk tracks with LDL-P and HDL-P, not LDL-C or HDL-C.
