Article Synopsis
- Recent studies indicate that high levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLc) may paradoxically increase the risk of mortality, prompting an investigation into its association with death in individuals with high cholesterol.
- A study of 2,992 subjects with primary hypercholesterolemia tracked mortality over an average of 10.2 years, revealing that those with low HDLc had a significantly higher risk of death compared to those with high HDLc.
- Despite these findings, when accounting for other major cardiovascular risk factors, HDLc levels were not independently linked to total, cardiovascular, or non-cardiovascular mortality.
Despite elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels, some older subjects with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) do not develop atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD) during their lifetime. The factors related to this resilient state have not been fully established. The aim of this study was to evaluate differential characteristics between older HeFH subjects with and without ACVD and factors associated with the presence of ACVD.
