An LDL blood test measures the amount of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in your blood. It is often called the “bad” cholesterol because high levels can cause fatty deposits to build up in your arteries, increasing your risk of heart attacks and strokes. Doctors use this test to see if you are at risk for heart disease or stroke.
