LDL is high...but assessing the risk of a cardiovascular event (such as a heart attack or stroke) considers a person's entire panel of cardiovascular risk factors, including hemoglobin A1c (diabetic status), blood pressure, lipids, weight, lifestyle, smoking status, level of daily physical activity and daily stress. Only knowing the total picture can one decide on whether or not to treat the LDL.
