The Relationship between LDL Cholesterol Level and Cardiovascular Disease Risk: A Case-Study-Based Cognitive Study

Abstract

Email: zmohsen14@gmail.com ABSTRACT Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death globally. High levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in the blood have been identified as a significant predictor of CVD risk. This case-studybased cognitive study aimed to investigate the relationship between LDL cholesterol level and CVD risk in a group of 100 patients with CVD. The patients were divided into two groups based on their LDL cholesterol levels: high LDL group (LDL > 130 mg/dL) and normal LDL group (LDL ≤ 130 mg/dL). The medical history of each patient was obtained and analyzed, including factors such as age, gender, smoking history, and family history of CVD. The data were statistically analyzed to investigate the relationship between LDL cholesterol level and the risk of CVD. The results showed that the high LDL group had a significantly higher risk of CVD compared to the normal LDL group (p < 0.05). Age, gender, smoking history, and family history of CVD were also found to be significant risk factors for CVD (p < 0.05). Our study provides evidence for the strong relationship between LDL cholesterol level and CVD risk, which emphasizes the need for personalized and targeted interventions based on individual patient characteristics.
