12. What does a high LDL and low HDL mean? Why would a patient with CVA experience these values?
LDL means (low-density lipoprotein)
HDL means (High-density lipoprotein)
LDL known as bad cholesterol because it blocks the wall of the artery and increases the risk of heart disease and cha. HDL is known as good cholesterol it prevents from heart disease and CVA.
CVA (cerebrovascular accident)
Cva is 2 type hemorrhagic and ischemic
In ischemic CVA, there is blockage of a carotid artery or its branch, and cessation of blood supply to the brain.
There is a no of cause for ischemic stroke but one of them is high LDL..

Identify the statements that are true about LDL and HDL. HDL is smaller than LDL. Low levels of LDLs together with high levels of HDLs are associated with heart disease. HDL removes cholesterol from the bloodstream. HDL is more dense than LDL. LDL has a higher lipid content than HDL. HDL is considered to be "bad cholesterol."
What is High-density lipoprotein (HDL) and Low-density lipoprotein (LDL). What functions do they play in the body and what role do they play in atherosclerosis
6. In an ABG what does a low pH and high pCO2 mean? Why would someone with asthma have these values?
Why are LDL low density lipoproteins considered to be the "bad" cholesterol relative to the high density lipoprotein particles? A) HDL particles contain a different form of cholesterol B) Because the lower the density of the particle, the more cholesterol it contains. C) Because HDL receptors are not found on cells
A family member recently found out that he has high LDL cholesterol and low HDL cholesterol. He has been advised by his doctor to change his diet to help improve these cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. Describe 2 specific dietary changes he could make to his typical lunch to improve these blood cholesterol values. You may increase, decrease, add or replace current items in the diet. Then explain how these changes will improve his blood cholesterol...
b. The proper operation of our LDL system is critical to our LDL/HDL ratio which is a typical component of most blood tests done when you are having a physical. The ideal ratio is 3.5 to 1. In select cases, however, LDL is in very high concentrations in the blood resulting in familiar hypercholesterolemia (FH). i. CHALLENGE: There are a number of different genetic defects that can cause FH. You are working with a cell line from a patient...

What does a high sodium, high hemeglobin and high hematocrit indicate? Why would a patient with a small bowel obstruction have these values?
2. All lipoproteins are made up of proteins, triglycerides, and cholesterol. Why are low-density lipoproteins (LDL) considered unhealthy, and people encouraged to lower LDL, while high-density lipoproteins are considered healthy and people encouraged to increase HDL?
