The test for LDL cholesterol is used to predict the risk of developing heart disease. Of all the forms of cholesterol in blood, LDL cholesterol is considered the most important form in determining risk of heart disease. Since treatment decisions are often based on LDL values, this test may be used to monitor levels after the start of diet or exercise programs, or to determine whether or not prescribing one of the lipid-lowering drugs would be useful.

LDL is an abbreviation for low density lipoprotein which is a type of cholesterol in our system. LDL is generally termed as bad cholesterol. The term bad indicates that if this type of substance is present in higher amount, it can harm your system.
When you consume a larger amount of low density lipoprotein via the food items you eat or drink, your body may suffer. Although, the changes that bad cholesterol does to your body are not seen immediately. Over the course of time, if you continue the intake of such food items, this cholesterol begins to alter your body functions.
Low density lipoprotein is the reason of developing plaque inside your coronary arteries. Plaque is a wax-like fatty substance that gets clogged on the internal lining of your blood vessels when you consume excess quantity of LDL. This waxy material sticks to the inner walls and gets collected on the lining. If you do not control your bad cholesterol intake, this waxy substance starts building up more; thus narrowing the passageways. Arteries begin to harden and eventually rupture if the wax turns stiff. Also, due to narrowing of path of blood flow, there is lesser amount of oxygen-rich blood to your heart. As a result, your heart may be damaged resulting into a stroke or heart attack.
Our food is a source of energy, vitamins, nutrients and lots of essential components. However, some food items also provide substances like LDL that can be harmful for our body if they are consumed more often. However, individuals are yet unaware of what their food habits do to their body. Hence, it is mandatory that you take regular LDL test to know if you are at risk of developing unhealthy conditions that can be harmful for your body in the future.
Taking regular LDL test keeps you updated of what do's and don'ts you must follow on your food and lifestyle habits. This is a way to keep you healthy and active. LDL cholesterol levels can also be checked in a Lipid profile test.
