Low-serum, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration is an important coronary risk factor in Chinese patients with low serum levels of total cholesterol and triglyceride.
The significance of low-serum high-density lipoprotein concentrations (<35 mg/dl) with respect to coronary atherogenesis in Chinese patients with low levels of total serum cholesterol (<200 mg/dl) and triglycerides (<250 mg/dl) was assessed. Persons with such a lipid profile pattern were still at high risk, and high-density lipoprotein. like smoking, appeared to be the most predictive independent coronary risk factor.
