Total Cholesterol - Provides a general indication of your risk for Heart Disease. When Total Cholesterol is too high, you are at a greater risk for Heart Disease which can lead to heart attack or stroke.
HDL-cholesterol - Often referred to as "good cholesterol", the higher your HDL level, the lower your risk for Heart Disease.
Triglycerides - As a form of fat found in the bloodstream, elevated triglycerides are often accompanied by other factors (such as low HDL or a tendency toward diabetes) that raise the risk of Heart Disease.
LDL-cholesterol - Often referred to as "bad cholesterol", excessive LDL may lead to a buildup of cholesterol in your arteries. The higher your LDL level, the greater your risk for Heart Disease. Reducing your LDL is the main goal of cholesterol-lowering treatment.

High cholesterol is one of the major risk factors for developing heart disease and stroke. It is important for all adults over 20 years of age to test every 5 years for cholesterol and more often for those with total cholesterol levels of over 200 mg/dl.
