Vol. Nº 22 · Chapter 01 · Lipid Panel
The Heart Health Nutrition Handbook

Reading the lipid panel: what every number means

Total cholesterol on its own is a blunt instrument. A patient with TC 6.0 mmol/L (232 mg/dL) might have normal LDL with high HDL (low risk) or high LDL with low HDL (high risk). The panel components are what matter.

Risk tierLDL-C (mmol/L)LDL-C (mg/dL)
Low risk · primary prevention< 3.0< 116
Moderate risk · multiple factors< 2.5< 97
High risk · T2D · CKD · CVD< 1.8< 70
Very high risk · per ESC/EAS 2019< 1.4< 55

Combined Portfolio-style protocols deliver in the 13-17% range1, with adherent quintiles in observational follow-up cohorts reaching 14-16% lower CV mortality2.

Practice tip The coffee diterpene effect is the single most overlooked LDL lever. Switching unfiltered to filtered drip removes cafestol and kahweol — a 0.13 to 0.41 mmol/L (5 to 16 mg/dL) drop at four to six cups a day11.

03 · How the work is built

Editorial pipeline. Not promises.

Three named stages. Every claim cited. Every protocol reviewed. No mystery.

Stage 01
Research synthesis
Topic-specific systematic literature search. Cross-referenced primary sources. Structured chapter outlines aligned to the ADIME framework.
Stage 02
Dietitian review
Every claim, protocol, and recommendation read by a Registered Dietitian with working knowledge of the clinical domain. Defensibility, currency, specificity, edge cases.
Stage 03
Citation verification
Every citation checked against the original literature before publication. Where a citation cannot be verified to a primary source, the claim is removed.
