Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), also called “bad” cholesterol, is one of four markers measured by a lipid profile. The quality of LDL-C that gives it a negative denotation is its contribution to plaque—a thick, hard deposit that can clog arteries and make them less flexible. This condition is known as atherosclerosis. If a clot forms and blocks one of these narrowed arteries, heart attack or stroke can occur.
