A member asked:
What do cholesterol and triglyceride numbers mean for my heart?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Know your numbers: It's important to know your numbers. Ideal values are a total cholesterol < 180 mg/dl, triglycerides < 150 mg/dl, LDL as low as possible (close to 70 mg/dl) and HDL as high as possible (at least 50 mg/dl in women).
