Ken. re Tim Russet
Mr. Russert’s cholesterol was not high, and medicine controlled his high blood pressure pretty well, Dr. Newman said.
But, he added, Mr. Russert was “significantly overweight.”
He also had a dangerous combination of other risk factors: high triglycerides, a type of fat in the blood, and a low level of HDL, the “good cholesterol” that can help the body get rid of the bad cholesterol that can damage arteries.

I agree its not ALL about LDL cholesterol levels . High hsCrp , highTG / low HDL ratio , pear shaped body profile etc are ALL risk factors
