Lipitor and Zetia keeps mine below 100.

Yeah, but what's your LDL/HDL ratio? My overall number was just fine, but my HDL was really low, and this was a major factor in my heart attack.

"Yeah, but what's your LDL/HDL ratio?"

What is a "good" LDL/HDL ratio? My total cholesterol for many years has hovered around 155 to 175. This year it suddenly jumped to around 200 where they start getting concerned. However, my HDL was 50. So, my total HDL to Total cholesterol ratio was 1/4. Is that good, bad, fair?
