This is a lame homework assignment that is wrong headed. Choleserol doesn't increase in a vaccum. Tell the patient to go on a vegan diet regime and work into an aerobic exercise program. With rare exceptions, heart disease is preventable and reversible through a radically healthy lifestyle change. Don't push pills, push a healthy lifestyle.

This is a theoretical question. In real life the risk of heart disease has decreased. Good luck with your calculations
