Recent studies demonstrate important roles for inflammation in development of
atherosclerosis with current attention focusing on interactions of inflammation with traditional …

Eur J Clin Invest 2010; 40 (6): 483–489 Abstract Background We recently reported high high‐
density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol as a predictor of recurrent risk in a subgroup of …

Background Inflammatory factors and low HDL-C relate to CHD risk, but whether
inflammation attenuates any protective association of high HDL-C is unknown. Objective …

Pathologic conditions associated with inflammation show an inverse correlation between
high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and inflammatory biomarker levels. Our aim …

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Inflammation and
atherosclerotic plaques are the primary pathological mechanisms of CAD. Upon stimulation …

Atherosclerosis, formerly considered a bland lipid storage disease, actually involves an
ongoing inflammatory response. Recent advances in basic science have established a …

Background There is growing evidence that the predictive value of HDL cholesterol levels
for cardiovascular risk stratification is limited in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) …

Background Studies in populations with or without cardiovascular disease have shown that
very high HDL-C levels are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events …

Great advances are being made at the mechanistic level in the understanding of the
structural and functional diversity of high-density lipoprotein (HDL). HDL particle subspecies …
