Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Low HDL and moderately high are definitely a risk factor for coronary artery disease.
I would want to know certain informations from you before proceeding ahead.
Are you suffering from diabetes?
Do you smoke?
What are the medications being taken by you?
If consuming alcohol then how much is the quantity?
Waiting for your reply.
Best of luck
