Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM.

I appreciate your concern for the blood lipid levels.

Triglycerides level Normal: Less than 150 mg/dL
Total cholesterol of 180 to 200 mg/dL is normal

LDL levels between 70 and 189 mg/dL are considered too high if you have

Diabetes (high risk of heart disease)
No diabetes (medium risk of heart disease)

Normal HDL cholesterol levels 40 to 60 mg/dL which can be increased by daily exercise, this type of fat is GOOD FAT, it reduces the level of cholesterol thus helps in preventing heart disease.

In view of the above explanation, you may need to lower LDL cholesterol level by STATIN group of lipid lowering drugs.

Besdies, you have to avoid fatty vegan and non vegan meals, you must eat lot of vegetables, fruits, daily exercise.

Hope this answers your query.
A feedback is highly appreciated.
