,” could protect them from heart disease. But a new study suggests that having a lot of so-called good cholesterol doesn’t mean a lower risk of heart attacks.
The findings suggest that the algorithms used to calculate an individual’s coronary heart disease risk need to be adjusted since they currently show a lower risk if HDL is high, Pamir said. To take a closer look at the impact of HDL on coronary heart disease risk, Pamir and her colleagues turned to data from thestudy. The researchers focused on 23,901 middle-aged Black and white REGARDS participants who were enrolled from 2003 to 2007 and who had no heart disease at the outset.
Dr. Howard Weintraub, clinical director of the Center for the Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease at the Leon H. Cheney Division of Cardiology at NYU Langone Health, hopes people get the message that high HDL levels aren't protective. Higher HDL levels are typically a marker of a healthy lifestyle, said cardiology specialist Dr. Robert Rosenson.
