First I went <a href="http://cholesterolmedicationwithoutstatins.weebly.com/how-to-lower-cholesterol.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> and read about some foods that can lower cholesterol. Then I thought I'd do a little more research to set my mind at rest and ended up here where you tell me "YOU can have a perfectly NORMAL LDL cholesterol level and still get heart disease". It's all doom and gloom so I'm going to try stick my head back in the sand and forget about it—no more greasy kebabs for me though. :~(J.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09803747265054377266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615315170597088646.post-89028862857709890652014-04-11T00:27:49.447-07:002014-04-11T00:27:49.447-07:00An enormous round of applause, continue the great ...An enormous round of applause, continue the great work. <a href="http://www.cholesloreviewed.com/low-cholesterol-foods.html" rel="nofollow"></a><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615315170597088646.post-52501869612580458042012-08-21T12:36:44.591-07:002012-08-21T12:36:44.591-07:00Persons handling traumatic jobs are often required...Persons handling traumatic jobs are often required to work long time, eat higher cholesterol diet and rest less.

To think that lower cholesterol levels are actually found in patients who experience major strokes vs. higher levels in patients with minor strokes.<BR/><BR/>Joan Baumann<BR/><BR/><BR/>Stroke. 2007 Aug 30; <BR/><BR/>Higher Total Serum Cholesterol Levels Are Associated With Less Severe Strokes and Lower All-Cause Mortality. Ten-Year Follow-Up of Ischemic Strokes in the Copenhagen Stroke Study.<BR/><BR/>Olsen TS, Christensen RH, Kammersgaard LP, Andersen KK.<BR/><BR/>From the Stroke Unit, Hvidovre University Hospital, Hvidovre, and the Department of Informatics and Mathematical Modeling, Section for Statistics, Technical University of Denmark, Lyngby, Denmark.<BR/><BR/>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Evidence of a causal relation between serum cholesterol and stroke is inconsistent. We investigated the relation between total serum cholesterol and both stroke severity and post stroke mortality to test the hypothesis that hypercholesterolemia is primarily associated with minor stroke. METHODS: In the study, 652 unselected patients with ischemic stroke arrived at the hospital within 24 hours of stroke onset. A measure of total serum cholesterol was obtained in 513 (79%) within the 24-hour time window. Stroke severity was measured with the Scandinavian Stroke Scale (0=worst, 58=best); a full cardiovascular risk profile was established for all. Death within 10 years after stroke onset was obtained from the Danish Registry of Persons. RESULTS: Mean+/-SD age of the 513 patients was 75+/-10 years, 54% were women, and the mean+/-SD Scandinavian Stroke Scale score was 39+/-17. Serum cholesterol was inversely and almost linearly related to stroke severity: an increase of 1 mmol/L in total serum cholesterol resulted in an increase in the Scandinavian Stroke Scale score of 1.32 (95% CI, 0.28 to 2.36, P=0.013), meaning that higher cholesterol levels are associated with less severe strokes. A survival analysis revealed an inverse linear relation between serum cholesterol and mortality, meaning that an increase of 1 mmol/L in cholesterol results in a hazard ratio of 0.89 (95% CI, 0.82 to 0.97, P=0.01). CONCLUSIONS: The results of our study support the hypothesis that a higher cholesterol level favors development of minor strokes. Because of selection, therefore, major strokes are more often seen in patients with lower cholesterol levels. Post stroke mortality, therefore, is inversely related to cholesterol.<BR/><BR/>Dr. McNamara: What this says is, the lower the cholesterol in this study the more potentially fatal the stroke. The people with higher cholesterl levels had less severe strokes than the people with low cholesterol levels.Ladd McNamara, M.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06139848870519711907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615315170597088646.post-65078334447624882942007-08-28T19:52:00.000-07:002007-08-28T19:52:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Terri Hamelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02278655131240220870noreply@blogger.com
