Question

when evaluating a patients risk factor for cardiovascular disease, what ratio do we need to look at with their cholesterol?
total chol/hdl
ldl/hdl
vldl/hdl
hdl/total chol

Explanation:

HDL (high - density lipoprotein) is known as "good" cholesterol and total cholesterol includes all types of cholesterol. The Total Chol/HDL ratio is often used to assess cardiovascular disease risk. A higher ratio indicates a greater risk as it shows a relatively lower proportion of "good" cholesterol compared to total cholesterol.

Answer:

A. Total Chol/HDL
