BACKGROUND
Low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol increase the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), and recent clinical studies suggest that interventions in low-HDL patients are beneficial. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of increased HDL levels on endothelium-dependent vasodilation.
METHODS
We studied patients with CAD with a low-density lipoprotein (LDL) level of <100 mg/dL. Patients with an HDL level of < or =36 mg/dL were treated with niacin (n…

The role of HDL in coronary heart disease is highlighted, from basic mechanisms of action to recent clinical trial results, and several therapeutic interventions can augment HDL concentrations, and there is increasing evidence that these interventions improve cardiovascular outcomes.

The improvement in endothelium-dependent vasomotion with cholesterol-lowering and antioxidant therapy may have important implications for the activity of myocardial ischemia and may explain in part the reduced incidence of adverse coronary events that is known to result from cholesterol- Lowering therapy.

Gemfibrozil therapy resulted in a significant reduction in the risk of major cardiovascular events in patients with coronary disease whose primary lipid abnormality was a low HDL cholesterol level, suggesting that the rate of coronary events is reduced by raising HDL cholesterol levels and lowering levels of triglycerides without lowering LDL cholesterol levels.
