Do triglycerides cause heart problems

2021-06-12 18:25:39
I had my lipid profile done which showed total cholesterol at 160 but VLDL above 30. Also, my triglycerides were 248 which was higher than the limit. However i am not sure if triglycerides also cause heart disease and how severe is chances if getting heart problems with vldl? One doctor nearby me told that tryglycerides are not a worrisome criteria for evaluating heart problems. Is it right? Also, how much heart blockage will happen if a sedentary lifestyle with total cholesterol of 400 is there for 6 consecutive years? The age is 30 and weight is 70, height is 5'7". Thanks

Definitely high cholesterol levels are a risk for developing heart disease. One cannot quantify correctly the risk of blockage in 6 years. You need lifestyle changes like diet modification, regular exercise along with drugs to reduce cholesterol.
