==Overview==
The antiatherogenic actions of HDL-C through reverse cholesterol transport and the cardioprotective effect through endothelial protection, anti-inflammatory activity, as well as antioxidant and antithrombotic effects has been the basis trials to increase HDL and to determine prognosis.  [[High-density lipoprotein]] (HDL) cholesterol levels are inversely related to risk for [[coronary artery disease]] (CAD), but because HDL particles are heterogeneous in size and composition, they may be differentially associated with other cardiovascular risk factors and with cardiovascular risk.
 
==Prognosis and Complications==
 
===Coronary Heart Disease===
====Cardio Protective Effect====
The mature spherical HDL particle is composed of enzymes, such as paraoxonase, platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH or Lp-PLA2), lecithin-cholesterol acyl transferase (LCAT), [[apolipoproteins]] (apoA-I and apoA-II), lipid molecules, such as [[triglyceride]], [[cholesterol]], [[phospholipids]] and bioactive lipid molecules, including sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) and related lysosphingolipids.<ref name="pmid18716026">{{cite journal| author=Scanu AM, Edelstein C| title=HDL: bridging past and present with a look at the future. | journal=FASEB J | year= 2008 | volume= 22 | issue= 12 | pages= 4044-54 | pmid=18716026 | doi=10.1096/fj.08-117150 | pmc=PMC2614615 | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=18716026  }} </ref>  The antiatherogenic actions of HDL-C are complex and are mediated through the some of the aforementioned components.  HDL-C plays a major  role in reverse cholesterol transport, mobilizing cholesterol from the periphery to the liver.  In addition, cardioprotective effects of HDL-C include endothelial protection, anti-inflammatory activity, as well as antioxidant and antithrombotic effects and maintenance of low blood viscosity through a permissive action on red cell deformability.
 
* Apo A-I :
**Several studies have shown that high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol is antiatherogenic and serves a role in mediating cholesterol efflux from cells.  Macrophage cholesterol efflux is a process whereby excess cholesterol in cells and in atherosclerotic plaques is removed.  Current data indicate that the plasma HDL associated apolipoprotein M (apoM) levels modulate the ability of plasma to mobilize cellular cholesterol and protects against experimental atherosclerosis.<ref name="pmid24046869">{{cite journal| author=Elsøe S, Christoffersen C, Luchoomun J, Turner S, Nielsen LB| title=Apolipoprotein M promotes mobilization of cellular cholesterol in vivo. | journal=Biochim Biophys Acta | year= 2013 | volume= 1831 | issue= 7 | pages= 1287-92 | pmid=24046869 | doi= | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=24046869  }} </ref>

* Indirect cardioprotective actions :

** In vascular smooth muscles, HDL tempers proinflammatory, promigratory, and degradative processes, and through actions on endothelium and [[platelets]] HDL is antithrombotic.  The antithrombotic properties may also be related to the abilities of HDL to attenuate the expression of tissue factor and selectins, to downregulate thrombin generation via the protein C pathway, and to directly and indirectly blunt platelet activation.  Thus, in addition to its cholesterol-transporting properties, HDL favorably regulates endothelial cell phenotype and reduces the risk of [[thrombosis]].<ref name="pmid16763172">{{cite journal| author=Mineo C, Deguchi H, Griffin JH, Shaul PW| title=Endothelial and antithrombotic actions of HDL. | journal=Circ Res | year= 2006 | volume= 98 | issue= 11 | pages= 1352-64 | pmid=16763172 | doi=10.1161/01.RES.0000225982.01988.93 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=16763172  }} </ref>

Many of these numerous actions of HDL have been observed not only in cell culture and animal models but also in human studies, and assessments of these functions are now being applied to patient populations to better-elucidate which actions of HDL may contribute to its cardioprotective potential and how they can be quantified and targeted.  Further work on the many mechanisms of HDL action promises to reveal new prophylactic and therapeutic strategies to optimize both cardiovascular and metabolic health.  Epidemiological studies have shown an inverse relationship between HDL-C levels and CVD risk.<ref name="pmid20425274">{{cite journal| author=Khera AV, Rader DJ| title=Future therapeutic directions in reverse cholesterol transport. | journal=Curr Atheroscler Rep | year= 2010 | volume= 12 | issue= 1 | pages= 73-81 | pmid=20425274 | doi=10.1007/s11883-009-0080-0 | pmc=PMC3315100 | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=20425274  }} </ref><ref name="pmid19903920">{{cite journal| author=Emerging Risk Factors Collaboration.

* Trial of simvastatin plus niacin : In this study patients receiving simvastatin plus niacin were significantly less likely to sustain a cardiovascular event  such as cardiac death, myocardial infarction or revascularization and experienced angiographic regression of the most significant coronary stenosis.<ref name="pmid11757504">{{cite journal| author=Brown BG, Zhao XQ, Chait A, Fisher LD, Cheung MC, Morse JS et al.| title=Simvastatin and niacin, antioxidant vitamins, or the combination for the prevention of coronary disease. | journal=N Engl J Med | year= 2001 | volume= 345 | issue= 22 | pages= 1583-92 | pmid=11757504 | doi=10.1056/NEJMoa011090 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=11757504  }} </ref>
 
* AIM-HIGH trial : A randomized trial comparing-extended release niacin (target dose 2000 mg per day) with placebo (100 to 200 mg of immediate release niacin) in 3414 patients with cardiovascular disease though increased levels of HDL-C and lowered levels of triglycerides and LDL-C was stopped early for futility after a mean follow-up of three years.<ref name="pmid22085343">{{cite journal| author=AIM-HIGH Investigators.

* ARBITER 2 study : A randomized trial that examined the effects of extended-release niacin 1000 mg daily in 167 patients with known CHD and an HDL-cholesterol concentration below 45 mg/dL who were already receiving a statin showed patients treated with niacin experienced a mean increase in HDL-cholesterol of 8 mg/dL (0.21 mmol/L) and had a trend toward decreased progression of carotid intima-media thickness.<ref name="pmid15537681">{{cite journal| author=Taylor AJ, Sullenberger LE, Lee HJ, Lee JK, Grace KA| title=Arterial Biology for the Investigation of the Treatment Effects of Reducing Cholesterol (ARBITER) 2: a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of extended-release niacin on atherosclerosis progression in secondary prevention patients treated with statins. | journal=Circulation | year= 2004 | volume= 110 | issue= 23 | pages= 3512-7 | pmid=15537681 | doi=10.1161/01.CIR.0000148955.19792.8D | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=15537681  }} </ref>
 
* Infusion of apo A-I Milano : A pilot trial of intravenous therapy with recombinant apo A-1 Milano phospholipid complexes (ETC-216) was conducted in 57 patients who were within two weeks of onset of an acute coronary syndrome  and showed a significant decrease in the mean percentage of coronary artery volume occupied by atheroma.<ref name="pmid7923682">{{cite journal| author=Ameli S, Hultgardh-Nilsson A, Cercek B, Shah PK, Forrester JS, Ageland H et al.| title=Recombinant apolipoprotein A-I Milano reduces intimal thickening after balloon injury in hypercholesterolemic rabbits. | journal=Circulation | year= 1994 | volume= 90 | issue= 4 | pages= 1935-41 | pmid=7923682 | doi= | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=7923682  }} </ref>
 
* Infusion of reconstituted HDL : The ERASE trial on 183 CHD patients with reconstituted human HDL estimating the coronary atheroma volume was associated with a high incidence of liver function test abnormalities, which led to early study discontinuation in this group.<ref name="pmid17387133">{{cite journal| author=Tardif JC, Grégoire J, L'Allier PL, Ibrahim R, Lespérance J, Heinonen TM et al.| title=Effects of reconstituted high-density lipoprotein infusions on coronary atherosclerosis: a randomized controlled trial. | journal=JAMA | year= 2007 | volume= 297 | issue= 15 | pages= 1675-82 | pmid=17387133 | doi=10.1001/jama.297.15.jpc70004 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=17387133  }} </ref>

* CETP inhibition : Torcetrapib, anacetrapib, evacetrapib, and dalcetrapib inhibit cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) and raise HDL-cholesterol levels.  Though investigation of torcetrapib and dalcetrapib has stopped due to the finding of an increased risk of cardiovascular events in the ILLUMINATE trial and dal-OUTCOMES, Anacetrapib in the DEFINE study has shown to increase HDL, but the overall safety in CHD is yet to be proved.<ref name="pmid21082868">{{cite journal| author=Cannon CP, Shah S, Dansky HM, Davidson M, Brinton EA, Gotto AM et al.| title=Safety of anacetrapib in patients with or at high risk for coronary heart disease. | journal=N Engl J Med | year= 2010 | volume= 363 | issue= 25 | pages= 2406-15 | pmid=21082868 | doi=10.1056/NEJMoa1009744 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=21082868  }} </ref>
 
====Current Trends====
=====HDL-P an Alternative to HDL-C=====
* Few studies have evaluated HDL-P associations with CHD risk, and we know of none that evaluated it jointly with HDL-C and LDL-P.
** Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) study on multi-ethnic men and women without clinical CVD or lipid-lowering medication use at baseline showed HDL-C (cholestrol content of HDL) associations with carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT)  and its CHD incidence to be substantially attenuated by adjusting for atherogenic lipoproteins, particularly LDL-P.  In contrast, HDL-P (particle concentrations) associations with cIMT and incident CHD were relatively unaffected by adjusting for atherogenic lipoproteins, HDL-C, and mean HDL particle size.<ref name="pmid22796256">{{cite journal| author=Mackey RH, Greenland P, Goff DC, Lloyd-Jones D, Sibley CT, Mora S| title=High-density lipoprotein cholesterol and particle concentrations, carotid atherosclerosis, and coronary events: MESA (multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis). | journal=J Am Coll Cardiol | year= 2012 | volume= 60 | issue= 6 | pages= 508-16 | pmid=22796256 | doi=10.1016/j.jacc.2012.03.060 | pmc=PMC3411890 | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=22796256  }} </ref>
** Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial (MRFIT) : Low HDL-P levels predicted CHD death over 18 years of follow-up among men with metabolic syndrome in the MRFIT cohort.  In the MRFIT, high levels of HDL-P and especially medium HDL-P were associated with a reduced risk of CHD<ref name="pmid17011566">{{cite journal| author=Kuller LH, Grandits G, Cohen JD, Neaton JD, Prineas R, Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial Research Group| title=Lipoprotein particles, insulin, adiponectin, C-reactive protein and risk of coronary heart disease among men with metabolic syndrome. | journal=Atherosclerosis | year= 2007 | volume= 195 | issue= 1 | pages= 122-8 | pmid=17011566 | doi=10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2006.09.001 | pmc=PMC2098784 | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=17011566  }} </ref>

=====Challening HDL-C hypothesis=====
* The theory of HDL-C levels to predict CVD risk has been challenged in clinical trials where LDL-C has reached a very low level.  The recent failure of the large the following trials raised questions about the benefits of this therapeutic strategy to raise HDL.<ref name="pmid22294855">{{cite journal| author=Cook C, Sheets C| title=Clinical equipoise and personal equipoise: two necessary ingredients for reducing bias in manual therapy trials. | journal=J Man Manip Ther | year= 2011 | volume= 19 | issue= 1 | pages= 55-7 | pmid=22294855 | doi=10.1179/106698111X12899036752014 | pmc=PMC3172958 | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=22294855  }} </ref>
** In the ILLUMINATE study adverse events caused by torcetrapib were likely to represent off-target effects of the drug but raised question about the value of raising HDL-C.  Attempts to decrease cardiovascular risk in statin-treated patients with the CETP inhibitor torcetrapib have failed, despite an increase in HDL-C by 72%.  The failure of torcetrapib and dalcetrapib may be explained by off-target adverse effects and weak CETP inhibition, respectively.<ref name="pmid17984165">{{cite journal| author=Barter PJ, Caulfield M, Eriksson M, Grundy SM, Kastelein JJ, Komajda M et al.| title=Effects of torcetrapib in patients at high risk for coronary events. | journal=N Engl J Med | year= 2007 | volume= 357 | issue= 21 | pages= 2109-22 | pmid=17984165 | doi=10.1056/NEJMoa0706628 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=17984165  }} </ref>

** Niacin, used at pharmacological doses (up to 2gm/day), led to a neutrality of results in terms of cardiovascular outcomes in the AIM-HIGM.  This study was also criticized for having a relatively small sample size.<ref name="pmid22085343">{{cite journal| author=AIM-HIGH Investigators.

** The recent failure of the large (>25,000 subjects) HPS2-THRIVE trial with niacin raised questions about the benefits of this therapeutic strategy to raise HDL..<ref name="pmid23444397">{{cite journal| author=HPS2-THRIVE Collaborative Group| title=HPS2-THRIVE randomized placebo-controlled trial in 25 673 high-risk patients of ER niacin/laropiprant: trial design, pre-specified muscle and liver outcomes, and reasons for stopping study treatment. | journal=Eur Heart J | year= 2013 | volume= 34 | issue= 17 | pages= 1279-91 | pmid=23444397 | doi=10.1093/eurheartj/eht055 | pmc=PMC3640201 | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=23444397  }} </ref>
 
Attention is focusing on specific HDL subfractions and on biomarkers of HDL function (reflecting its pleiotropic effects) as potential therapeutic targets for cardiovascular protection.  Such studies have reinforced the need for validated assays of HDL function rather than static measurement of HDL-C.  A variety of HDL/apoA-I-based therapies are currently under investigation.  To better understand the relation between HDL and atherosclerosis, we should consider developing and measuring better markers of HDL function, rather than the cholesterol mass within HDL particles.
