High-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and ischemic heart disease risk in Korean men with cardiac risk.

BACKGROUND Although many epidemiological studies have suggested that a decreased level of high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) is a risk factor for heart disease; this relationship remains uncertain in relation to triglycerides (TG). This study examined the effects of serum TG and HDL-C on the incidence of ischemic heart disease (IHD) in Korean men. METHODS AND RESULTS A 14-year prosp...

Genetically elevated apolipoprotein A-I, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, and risk of ischemic heart disease.

CONTEXT Epidemiologically, levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and its major protein constituent, apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), are inversely related to risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD). OBJECTIVE We tested whether common genetic variation in the apolipoprotein A1 gene (APOA1) contributes to apoA-I and HDL cholesterol levels and risk of IHD in the general population. DES...
