Introduction To explore the relationship between serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol
(HDL-C) levels and the presence and severity of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) …

Rationale: High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) promotes healthy vascular function,
and it is decreased in insulin resistance. Insulin resistance predisposes to pulmonary …

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels are a strong, independent inverse
predictor of cardiovascular disease. The present study aimed to determine whether serum …

It has been suggested that lipoprotein abnormalities may contribute to the pulmonary
arteriolar dysfunction observed in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). High-density …

Background High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) has various anti-inflammatory,
anti-atherogenic, anti-oxidant and anti-coagulant properties that improve vascular function …

Background Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) patients are characterized by
elevated triglyceride (TG)-to-HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio, which has been proposed to be …

Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is a well established metabolic marker of
cardiovascular risk, however, its role in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) has not been …

Lipid homeostasis is dysregulated in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). A decrease in
serum high-and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C and LDL-C) is significantly …

The impact of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol on the development of
atherosclerosis and diseases of systemic circulation has been well documented both in …

Results The study group included 61 IPAH patients, and the control group included 2413
Polish residents. When compared to the general population, IPAH patients had lower low …
