In fact, the LDL number also includes the VLDL (& other molecules) which scientists are finding is a GOOD thing to have in the high range. My own doc told me not to worry when my LDL looked higher than the "desirable" range because my ratio was fantastic - just like yours.

If you have problems remembering which is good, try this:
HappyDL = good
LousyDL = bad.
