Abstract：High density lipoprotein cholesterol ( HDL-C) level is an independent predictor and has an inverse relationship with incident cardiovascular events. However,the causal relation between HDL-C and atherosclerosis is uncertain. Simply to increase the levels of HDL-C can not reduced the risk of vascular events. And the cardiovascular risk increased may be associated with very high HDL-C levels. The composition of the proteins or lipid within HDL and the enzyme of HDL metabolism be changes in disease conditions,which contribute to a lower protective function of HDL. So when study relationship between HDL and cardiovascular disease, to assess its function and quality may be more important than to assess its number.
