NBC’s Washington bureau chief, Tim Russert died of heart attack while at work due to a ruptured cholesterol plaque in an artery that caused sudden coronary thrombosis.
As I have mentioned in my previous post, it is not the high percentage but the actual oxidation of the LDL or bad cholesterol is what kills. An oxidized LDL Cholesterol will cause a plaque to be built up in the artery and without a combination therapy of addressing the LDL, HDL Cholesterol and Triglycerides, the risk of getting heart attacks will eventually get higher.
So, remember to not only lower the bad cholesterol but lowering the triglycerides and increasing the hdl cholesterol is equally as important.
