Diseases linked to high cholesterol
High cholesterol in the human body is linked to the higher risk of cardiovascular diseases this 
cardiovascular diseases can include coronary heart disease, stroke,  peripheral vascular 
disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, erectile dysfunction. In all of the following cases the 
main underlying cause of these diseases are because high cholesterol levels in the body can 
lead to fatty plaque deposits that build up inside the arteries all over the body.
Well all of the conditions that are linked to the high cholesterol levels can be prevented and 
managed with help of very simple steps which may help in lowering the cholesterol levels. 
Cholesterol and Coronary Heart Diseases:-
The main risk factor which comes along with the high cholesterol level is the coronary heart 
disease, the coronary heart disease may lead to death from heart attack. Higher cholesterol 
levels in the body to build up of the plague in the walls of the arteries. This deposits can 
cause blockage or hardening of the arteries or Atherosclerosis. The arteries which supply 
blood to the heart can marrow in certain areas which can slow down the blood flow to the 
part of heart muscles. Aur the cholesterol plagues breakdown and float to the smaller blood 
vessels and which can cause a total blockage of the arteries. All this cases of reduced blood 
flow can result in chest pain that is called angina or can cause Heart attack if the blood 
vessels completely get blocked.
Cholestrol and Stroke:-
The main causes of the 
stroke is uncontrolled 
high blood pressure, 
trauma or improper 
blood flow to the brain. 
High cholesterol levels 
does not just line the 
blood vessels that are in 
or around the heart but 
they also narrow certain 
arteries that pump the 
blood to the brain as 
well, if the deposits 
completely blocks or 
narrows the artery that 
supply the brain that 
may lead to stroke.
Cholestrol and peripheral vascular disease:-
As we have seen before the high cholesterol level can be harmful to the heart and brain, but 
the cholesterol plague can also cause severe symptoms in legs and the other areas outside 
the heart and brain. In which legs and feets are the most common, this symptoms commonly 
involves cramps in calves muscles which gets better with rest. 
Cholestrol and High BP:-
High Blood pressure has been one of the most common problems that is linked to high 
cholesterol levels, high cholesterol triggers information which leads to release of sperm and 
hormones that causes tightening and construction to the blood vessels that raises the blood 
pressure. High blood pressure for a longer period of time is also linked to heart diseases.
Cholestrol and Diabetes:-
Diabetes can lead to upset of the balance between levels of HDL and LDL. People with 
diabetes are often observed to have LDL particles that stick to the arteries and can damage 
the blood vessel walls more easily, glucose have the tendency to attach to the lipoproteins. 
The sugarcoated LDL remains in the bloodstream for the longer period of time which may 
lead to plaque. The people with diabetes have low HDL and high triglyceride levels which 
boost the risk of heart disease and artery diseases..
Cholesterol and erectile dysfunction:-
Condition when a man cannot achieve or maintain erection during sex. From a long period 
of time high cholesterol level seems to trigger the narrowing of the small blood vessels of 
the penis which may lead to erectile dysfunction. In addition to this when the person have 
too much LDL cholesterol it can build up with the arteries and can join with the other 
substances to form plaque that hardens or narrow the further blood vessels.
Cholestrol and obesity:-
Obesity is one of the common problems that is linked to the high cholesterol, obesity 
means extremely overweight with a body mass index of 30 or higher than that. People who 
are always are more likely to develop conditions like vessels blockage due to high 
cholesterol levels.

early stages, it's very important to maintain and lower the cholesterol levels as the high risk 
of diseases can easily be triggered in case of any irresponsibilities.
