Possibly: LDL was just one of the many risk factors for coronary heart disease and strokes. The risk factors include male sex age diabetes smoking family history high blood pressure high CRP obesity lake of exercise Sharon chronic inflammatory disorders and medications. In general if someone's only risk factor is an elevated LDL the number used in trein treatment decisions is 190 to treat with medications with no other risk factors
