A member asked:

Can having high ldl levels make it more difficult to lower heart rate during exercise?

Dr. James Chapman answered

Specializes in Cardiology

No: Ldl levels will not affect your heart rate response to exercise. It will however, increase your risk of heart disease and stroke. See your doc about ways to get this down.
