James's cholesterol level is 720. Low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) are high and high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) are low. Discuss the implications of this

He should be on a low-fat, low saturated fat, and low-cholesterol diet. He will also most likely need medication to help control his cholesterol levels.
