Hey Abbas,
Your Cholesterol values are abnormal. Given that your Tread Mill Test (TMT) was abnormal and your doc suggesting to get angiogram you might have Coronary artery disease. So for you Total Cholesterol should be less than 200 and LDL should be less than 130 for this follow low fat diet. Your Triglycerides should be less than 150 for this follow low carbohydrate diet. Your HDL which is good cholesterol and which is very good for heart should be more than 45, only way to increase HDL is do daily good cardiovascular exercise regimen.

Lemme know if you have further concerns.
