High cholesterol (hyperlipidemia) means there is too much LDL cholesterol (the so-called bad cholesterol) or triglycerides in the blood relative to HDL cholesterol. High cholesterol usually does not cause symptoms, but it accumulates in the walls of blood vessels and significantly increases the risk of atherosclerosis, heart attack, and stroke.
