High-density lipoprotein and coronary heart disease: current and future therapies.

Coronary heart disease remains a major cause of worldwide morbidity and mortality despite therapeutic advances that control many risk factors such as low-density lipoprotein cholesterol to levels lower than previously possible. Population studies have consistently demonstrated an inverse association between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels with the risk of coronary heart dise...

High-density lipoprotein cholesterol, coronary artery disease, and cardiovascular mortality.

AIMS High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is a strong predictor of cardiovascular mortality. This work aimed to investigate whether the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD) impacts on its predictive value. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 3141 participants (2191 males, 950 females) of the LUdwigshafen RIsk and Cardiovascular health (LURIC) study. They had a mean ± standard deviation ...

2533 High - Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Premature Coronary Heart Disease in Urban Japanese Men

Background The objective of this study was to examine the relation of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) to coronary heart disease in Japanese men whose serum total cholesterol is low by Western standards. Methods and Results A prospective, observational study based on 7.7 years of follow-up for incidence of coronary heart disease and stroke was conducted. The subjects were 6408 middl...
