Answer to Question 1

The HDL cholesterol is considered the good cholesterol because it has protective properties. It functions
to remove the cholesterol from the peripheral tissues and transports it to the liver for excretion. B.T. has
elevated LDL along with low levels of HDL. This combination makes him more at risk for an MI.

Answer to Question 2

High risk for sudden cardiac death (multiple risk factors such as family history, male gender);
smoking; inactivity (sedentary lifestyle); obesity; stressful lifestyle; HTN; hyperlipidemia; and a highfat,
low-fiber diet.
