LDL Cholesterol Kit.

Laboratory investigations, epidemiology and genetic factors of hypercholesterolemia indicate that elevated LDH cholesterol is a major cause of coronary heart disease (CHD). The relationship between LDL-cholesterol levels and CHD risk is continous over a broad range of LDL levels from low to high. Recent clinical trials robustly show that LDL-lowering therapy reduces risk for CHD. For these reasons the Adult Treatment Panel III continues to identify elevated LDL cholesterol as the primary target of cholesterol-lowering therapy.
