In the last six decades, high density lipoproteins (HDL) have been extensively considered to
reduce the risk for coronary artery disease (CAD); in fact, the cholesterol carried by HDL …

The dogmatic concept that HDL-C levels predict future CVD events is undisputed, but the
role of HDL-C as a causal factor in atherosclerosis has been challenged by a number of …

Several studies have shown an inverse relationship between HDL cholesterol (HDL-C)
levels and the risk of cardiovascular disease. Low HDL-C levels are commonly present in …

The cholesterol contained within HDL is inversely associated with risk of coronary heart
disease and is a key component of predicting cardiovascular risk. However, despite its …

The first large population-based study to show an inverse relationship between circulating
HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) concentrations and coronary heart disease (CHD) was a cross …

Reduced plasma levels of HDL-C are associated with an increased risk of CAD and
myocardial infarction, as shown in various prospective population studies. However, recent …

Abstract Purpose of Review High-density lipoproteins (HDL) have long been regarded as an
antiatherogenic lipoprotein species by virtue of their role in reverse cholesterol transport …

The specific interest concerning HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) is related to its ability to uptake
and return surplus cholesterol from peripheral tissues back to the liver and, therefore, to its …
