Final answer:
The NCEP/ATP III LDL goal is below 100 mg/dL and the HDL goal is above 40 mg/dL for men and above 50 mg/dL for women.
Step-by-step explanation:
The NCEP/ATP III LDL goal when treating CHD (Coronary Heart Disease) as of May 2001 is less than 100 milligrams per deciliter. This means that the ideal level of LDL cholesterol in the blood should be below 100 mg/dL to prevent excess buildup of cholesterol in the arteries and reduce the risk of heart disease.
On the other hand, the NCEP/ATP III HDL goal when treating CHD is to have HDL cholesterol levels above 40 mg/dL for men and above 50 mg/dL for women. HDL cholesterol is often referred to as 'good cholesterol' because it helps remove excess cholesterol from the arteries and can reduce the risk of heart disease.
