Cholesterol is one indicator for potential heart problems, however, there are many other factors to consider. Family history, weight, smoking, etc.

Hope I am not tempting the fates (doubt it......they have hit me pretty
hard already) * 
One thing that made *me a bit more blase' about this issue was that
I could not recall a single person on either side of my family who ever
had a heart attack or stroke. *Not one. *There were a few that met
an early demise. *Something else got 'em.
