[Does HDL-cholesterol determination facilitate the assessment of risk in coronary patients?].
Serum lipids (cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol) were analyzed in 153 patients with proven coronary heart disease (CHD) with the target to characterize the risk potential of HDL-cholesterol. It turns out, that the specificity of HDL-C is low (too many unexpected high values in CHD). Consequently this parameter is of little use in evaluating the individual risk for CHD.
