An important distinction when talking about LDL is the difference between LDL-C and LDL-P.

The -C stands for cholesterol. This is the amount, or mass, of cholesterol being carried in the lipoproteins, or the ships.

The P stands for particles. This is the number of lipoproteins, or ships, in your bloodstream.

This video explains the difference, and also explains LDL pattern A versus LDL pattern B.
