I had suffered a heart attack in 2015. I did not get any standing done and have been surviving on medicines. 3 of my arteries are 100% blocked. I have got my blood report done last week. My Total/ HDL Cholesterol ratio is 2.7 and LDL/HDL Cholesterol ratio is 1.3. I am unsure whether this is good or bad for my health. Please can you urgently let me know.

If your total cholesterol is less than 200, but your ratio is 5, you are still at increased risk for developing heart disease. This ratio compares the amount of bad (LDL) cholesterol to your good (HDL) cholesterol levels. You want a ratio less than 3.5, ideally less than 2.5. To calculate your ratio, divide LDL by HDL To calculate your cholesterol ratio, divide your total cholesterol number by your HDL cholesterol number. So if your total cholesterol is 200 mg/dL (5.2 mmol/L) and your HDL is 50 mg/dL (1.3 mmol/L), your ratio would be 4-to-1.

No it's good, new research shows that cholesterol have no relation with heart attack, whatever your reports are normal, I will advise you that along with your allopathic treatment you should start homoeopathic treatment which will be better for you.
