While high cholesterol is a major risk factor, approximately half of heart attacks occur in individuals with "normal" cholesterol levels, highlighting the importance of considering other risk factors. Here's a more detailed explanation: Normal Cholesterol Levels: Studies have shown that many people who experience heart attacks have cholesterol levels that would be considered normal or not high-risk. Other Risk Factors: This means that other factors besides high cholesterol can contribute to heart attacks, including: Inflammation: Chronic inflammation in the arteries can contribute to plaque buildup. Genetics: Family history of heart disease can increase risk. Lifestyle: Smoking, lack of exercise, and unhealthy diet can all play a role. High Blood Pressure: High blood pressure can damage blood vessels and increase the risk of heart attack. Diabetes: Diabetes can damage blood vessels and increase the risk of heart disease. Remnant Cholesterol: Some studies suggest that remnant cholesterol, a type of cholesterol that remains after LDL cholesterol is cleared, may be a significant risk factor, even in people with low LDL cholesterol. Importance of Comprehensive Risk Assessment: Due to the complexity of heart disease, a comprehensive assessment of an individual's risk factors is crucial, not just focusing on cholesterol levels. Focus on Prevention: Even with normal cholesterol levels, individuals should focus on healthy lifestyle choices to reduce their overall risk of heart disease, such as a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking.
