High HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) Cholesterol Increases Cardiovascular Risk in Hypertensive Patients

Structured PICO

Is there an association between HDL-C levels and the risk of cardiovascular events in male patients with hypertension?

Population

Male patients with hypertension

Intervention

HDL-C levels (specifically high HDL-C)

Outcome

Cardiovascular eventshard clinical

A U-shaped association exists between HDL-C levels and cardiovascular events in hypertensive men, suggesting that high HDL-C may paradoxically increase cardiovascular risk.

Abstract

Our data demonstrate that there is a U-shaped association between HDL-C and the risk of cardiovascular events in male patients with hypertension.
