High LDL (low-density lipoprotein) and low HDL (high-density lipoprotein) levels are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. LDL is often referred to as "bad" cholesterol because it can lead to plaque buildup in arteries, while HDL is considered "good" cholesterol as it helps remove cholesterol from the bloodstream.
