We all know about the dangers of cholesterol. But it’s not just a simple matter of having high or low cholesterol. Enter: LDL (or bad) cholesterol, the silent threat to your heart. Join CVSKL’s consultant cardiologist Dr Al Fazir Omar to get the lowdown on LDL, and how that affects your risk of heart disease. And we’ll be featuring a special guest: a heart disease patient sharing how he overcame his personal fears to change his behaviour, and how he lives well today with better management of his disease.

This is an edited replay of BFM's Health & Living 2024 ‘Your Heart Must Go On’. This World Heart Day event was part of Unblocked, a movement for heart health, sponsored by CVSKL, in collaboration with Novartis.
