Definition
Many large studies and clinical trials have been done to prove the inverse relation between HDL and the risk of cardiovascular diseases,[1][2] and the fact that more increase in HDL level improves the cardiovascular health.[3] The serum HDL level Goals for Patients at Risk of cardiovascular disease is recommended to be as high as possible, but at least ≥40 mg/dL in both men and women. Many debate about the serum level at which the risk of cardiovascular disease occurrence decline, an HDL value of ≥60 mg/dL is considered protective against heart disease according to latest guidelines.
