Symptoms
There are no warning signs for high LDL cholesterol levels. When symptoms finally occur, they usually take the form of angina or heart attack in response to the buildup of atherosclerotic plaque in the patient's arteries. This is definitely a condition where it pays to invest in preventive medicine before dangerous complications occur.
