Summary

High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is crucial for managing coronary artery disease (CAD) risk. Measuring HDL-C levels and treating low levels with lifestyle changes or medication is recommended for all patients.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Lipidology
  • Preventive Cardiology

Background:

  • High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) plays a significant role in cardiovascular health.
  • Epidemiologic, interventional, and angiographic studies highlight the link between HDL-C and coronary artery disease (CAD).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To emphasize the clinical importance of measuring HDL-C levels in patients.
  • To recommend management strategies for varying HDL-C levels in CAD risk assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Review of evidence from epidemiologic studies.
  • Analysis of data from lipid intervention trials.
  • Evaluation of findings from coronary angiographic research.

Main Results:

  • Consistent evidence demonstrates HDL-C's critical role in CAD risk.
  • Strong support exists for routine HDL-C measurement in CAD screening.
  • Low HDL-C levels are associated with increased CAD risk.

Conclusions:

  • HDL-C measurement is essential for all patients undergoing CAD screening.
  • Nonpharmacologic interventions are advised for patients with low HDL-C levels.
  • Pharmacologic treatment should be considered for high-risk individuals with low HDL-C.
