Does high LDL levels cause higher blood pressure?


Does high cholestrol cause higher systolic and diastolic numbers?

not definite, but the answer is yes.

when the cholesterol lined with the arteries, and if the arteries don't stretch, the heart must work much harder to make blood move. the blood squeezing through a walled arteries tend to flow faster and create a greate pressure. therefpre people with a lot of cholesterol lining their arteries usually have high blood pressure.

NO. High LDL's are an indicator of "bad cholesterol" and can contribute to heart problems but, not directly high blood pressure

LDL can be high and the blood pressure can be normal, but LDL causes plaque which I'm sure you know is bad.
