According to the lipid hypothesis, abnormally high cholesterol levels (hypercholesterolemia) and abnormal proportions of LDL and HDL are associated with cardiovascular disease by promoting atheroma development in arteries (atherosclerosis). This disease process leads to myocardial infarction (heart attack), stroke and peripheral vascular disease. As high LDL contributes to this process, it is termed "bad cholesterol", while high levels of HDL ("good cholesterol") offer a degree of protection. The balance can be redressed with exercise, a healthy diet, and sometimes medication.

One of the biggest misconceptions people have is that food's packed with cholesterol. In fact, very little cholesterol is found in foods. The main culprits are eggs, offal and shellfish.

What's important is the type of fat in the food you choose, especially saturated fat. Once inside the body, the liver turns this fat into cholesterol.

Knowing your cholesterol level isn't, on its own, enough to tell you your personal risk of heart disease. You also need to know about lipoproteins. These are special molecules that carry or transport cholesterol around the body.

There are three main types:

• Low-density lipoprotein (LDL), often known as bad cholesterol - this carries cholesterol from the liver to the cells and, if supply exceeds demand, can cause harmful build-up of cholesterol
• High-density lipoprotein (HDL), or good cholesterol - this takes cholesterol away from the cells and back to the liver, where it's either broken down or excreted
• Triglycerides

The greatest danger is when someone has high levels of LDL cholesterol and trigylcerides, and low levels of HDL cholesterol.

 
>>>Cholesterol Tests

Cholesterol is a lipid found in the cell membranes of all tissues, and it is transported in the blood plasma. Cholesterol is also considered a sterol (a combination steroid and alcohol).

Most of the cholesterol in the body is synthesized by the body and some has dietary origin. Cholesterol is more abundant in tissues which either synthesize more or have more abundant densely-packed membranes, for example, the liver, spinal cord and brain. It plays a central role in many biochemical processes, such as the composition of cell membranes and the synthesis of steroid hormones. Cholesterol is insoluble in blood, but is transported in the circulatory system bound to one of the varieties of lipoprotein, spherical particles which have an exterior composed mainly of water-soluble proteins. The main types, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) carry cholesterol from and to the liver, respectively.

Using the Visual Cholesterol test it is possible to check quickly the cholesterol level in blood. If the level is high then you should contact your doctor and in this way you could significantly reduce heart disease risk. Cholesterol level in blood is affected by diet and also by: drugs, diabetes mellitus, pregnancy and serious diseases. You should perform this test after fasting for at least 6-9 hours.

Make sure you have a watch or clock ready. Read instructions fully before carrying out the test.

• When ready to perform the test open the plastic container and remove one of the test strips. Close the container back up when the strip has been removed. Make sure that the protective cap has not been removed from the lancet.
• Wash hands with hot water and soap and dry them well. Using gentle pressure, massage the finger from which the sample is to be taken (the middle or ring finger is the best) by gently working the thumb of your free hand up to the tip of the finger.
• Carefully twist off the protective cap from the lancet as shown in the first picture below and then remove.

Press the lancet very firmly against the soft pad of your finger tip and press the blue button on the side of the lancet until you hear a click- this releases a very short needle, enough only to prick the skin. It is important to press the finger pricker firmly against the fingertip otherwise the skin will not be punctured.

• Holding the punctured site downwards, with palm of hand facing upwards, continue to gently massage the finger until a large drop of blood appears.
• Add a drop of blood to the white reactive pad, the square area marked by 2 green lines (the side which shows the blood drop). Ensure your finger does not touch the reactive area.
• Wait about 35-40 seconds to allow the chemical reaction to occur.

• Turn the strip over and within the next 25 seconds compare the developed colour in the circular area of the strip with each coloured area of the comparative card by positioning the strip behind the holes in the card.
• Find the closest matching colour and read the results below.

Since the test result is semi-quantitative evaluation involving colour, shade and intensity, it is useful the opinion of a second person on the final result. It is important to perform the colour comparison within next 25 seconds, otherwise the colour could lighten and the evaluated concentration will be lower than the real one.

Results

Each colour area corresponds to a cholesterol value. The lightest colour is a cholesterol reading of 130 mg/dl and the highest is a cholesterol reading of 350 mg/dl. If the colour is lighter than 130 mg/dl then a cholesterol reading of less than 130 mg/dl must be considered. If the reactive strip is darker than 350 mg/dl then a cholesterol level of higher than 350 mg/dl must be considered.

Normal and Abnormal Values (According to the latest criteria)

Less than 200 mg/dl = Desirable Blood Cholesterol

200-239 mg/dl = Borderline High Blood Cholesterol

Higher than 240 mg/dl = High Blood Cholesterol

What should I do with my results?

If your cholesterol is high you should see your doctor for advice, your doctor may give you dietary advice and exercise guidelines. If after following the guidelines carefully your cholesterol level has not reached the desired goal, your doctor may prescribe medication.
