LDL is not End ALL: Patients with heart disease and atherosclerosis in the us today are doing it with low or normal LDL cholesterol levels. (see get with the guidelines study) . These patients are overweight, have low HDL and high triglycerides. Patients with this type of lipid profile have increased numbers of "apob containing" lipoproteins, which is what moves into the artery wall to cause atheroclerosis and plaque.
