Arterial Blockage
Hi, My brother is 27 years old. His lifestyle is very much sedantry as he is a software professional who spends most of the time in front of computers. Since two years he is having high cholesterol. Below are the values in his latest report : Cholesterol - 215 mg/dL Triglycerides - 158 mg/dL HDL Cholesterol - 42 mg/dL Direct LDL Cholesterol - 154 mg/dL Non HDL Cholesterol - 173 mg/dL CHOL/HDL ratio - 5.1 LDL/HDL ratio - 3.7 Very Low Density Lipoprotein - 31.6 mg/dL He just wants to know how badly his heart will be affected by having such cholesterol levels continuously for 2 years. What are the chances that plaque has been deposited in his arteries resulting in blockage? And which tests should he go for to detect arterial blockage?

As he is young, and concerned about his health, he can undergo a master health check and share the reports with me. I would like to personally suggest a treadmill test if possible.
