- - The study investigates extreme cases of hyperalphalipoproteinemia (HAE), where individuals possess very high HDL cholesterol levels, and aims to understand their cardiovascular risk factors.
- - Among the 53 participants, dyslipidemia was the most common risk factor, but there were notable gender differences in other factors like hypertension, which was more prevalent in men.
- - The results found that over half of the participants showed signs of subclinical atherosclerosis, with age, alcohol use, and smoking linked to plaque presence, while HDL-C levels didn't significantly influence cardiovascular health.

Our aim was to assess the presence of subclinical arteriosclerosis in survivors of testicular cancer in comparison with a control group. This was a cross-sectional, observational, case-control study including 50 survivors of Germ Cell Tumor (GCT) (14 years of follow-up) and 53 age-matched controls with no cancer.
