Originally Published 5 months ago — by The Detroit News
Dr. Roach explains that while high HDL cholesterol is generally protective against heart disease, levels over 80 mg/dL may not always be beneficial, especially in certain populations with genetic factors or health conditions. He emphasizes the importance of considering family history and other risk factors when evaluating cholesterol levels and cautions against over-reliance on current screening tests like the Galleri blood test for cancer detection, due to their limited accuracy.
