Healthy Cholesterol looks at what high cholesterol and high blood pressure are and why they can be so dangerous, and, in particular, why atherosclerosis, or plaque build-up in the arteries, is the most significant consequence of these conditions and causal factor of heart attack, stroke, and coronary heart disease. Risk factors associated with high blood pressure and cholesterol and treatments, including non-pharmacological intervention, are also explored. Finally, Healthy Cholesterol looks at the ways we can reduce or reverse our risk of high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and, ultimately, our risk of heart attack, stroke, and coronary heart disease.
