Determine levels of cholesterol in the blood is important as part of efforts to prevent heart and blood vessel disease . Examination can usually be done with a blood test in the laboratory . Simple examination can show the number of total cholesterol , whereas a more complex examination can show additional information such as the number of high-density lipoprotein ( HDL ) , low density lipoprotein ( LDL ) , and triglycerides .

Examination should be performed routinely cholesterol levels to continue to monitor the overall health . However, other than through a blood test , there are actually physical signs that can be observed to detect high levels of total cholesterol in the blood .

What are the signs ? Specialist heart and blood vessels Sahid Sahirman Hospital , Dr Aulia Sani , described some symptoms to watch .

Reputation stress as the cause of the disease was already known for a long time. Recent findings stated that due to job stress can alter the way the body metabolizes fat. This condition can lead to increasing levels of "bad" cholesterol or low density lipoprotein (LDL) and raises the risk of heart disease.

Previous research experts say, the emotional stress associated with the risk of cardiovascular disease which is the result of unhealthy habits such as smoking, unbalanced diet, lack of physical activity, and other factors.

However, the results of this new study suggests that stress can trigger dyslipidemia, namely the transfer of impaired lipid and lipoproteins in the blood.

Researchers from the Hospital Virgen de la Victoria in Malaga and Santiago de Compostela University analyzed the relationship between work stress and other parameters related to how fatty acids are metabolized by the body.
