High Cholesterol
(Dyslipidemia)

Cholesterol is a fatty substance produced by the liver, essential for cell membrane structure, hormone production, and vitamin D synthesis. There are two main types: Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) also called "bad" cholesterol, which accumulates in arteries, increasing cardiovascular risk, and High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) called "good" cholesterol, which carries excess cholesterol to the liver for removal. Elevated LDL (>100 mg/dL) and low HDL (<40 mg/dL) levels increase the risk of heart attack, stroke/paralysis, and peripheral artery disease.
