A person is considered at high risk for developing heart disease if their total cholesterol level is higher than 240 mg/dL, LDL levels are higher than 160 mg/dL (190 mg/dL is even higher risk), and if the HDL level is below 40 mg/dL

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a LITHIUM - SERUM Test or Take a D3 HYDROXYBUTARATE Test
