Research paper investigates the relationship between very high levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and cardiovascular outcomes in the general population. The study reveals that while men with high HDL-C face an increased risk of all-cause death and cardiovascular death, this association is not observed in women without coronary artery disease.
