It has been well proven that an excess of "good" cholesterol- HDL, helps to preserve the integrity of the blood arterial lining of blood vessels preventing the occurring of impairment of flow of blood to its end organ. In , afflicted individuals of a given family spontaneously manufacture excess, sometimes huge amounts, of cholesterol which accelerates the tendency to impair the flow of bloo ...
