Indication of heart diseases is a rise in LDL cholesterol levels

This is probably the most inappropriate way to conclude the risk of Heart disease. The medicinal department is focusing too much on the Total and LDL cholesterol levels. The total cholesterol includes the HDL, which is good for the body. The LDL cholesterol too has its complexities. The LDL cholesterol has various micro divisions where most of the small parts are said to be the good ones. One part of LDL is dense which is only harmful to the body, and other one is small and does not bother the body. Thus, reading the only the cholesterol levels are not good to assume that there is a chance of a heart disease.
