Doctors missed scary drug interaction 2013-03-20T22:13:07Z But the reverse doesn't seem to hold true for HDL. Pathology: At the heart of the problem 2013-01-30T18:23:07.253Z "The Tredaptive failure is another piece of evidence on the side of the scale that says HDL raising hasn't yet been proven," he said. Merck CEO says jury out on raising good cholesterol 2013-01-24T09:00:30Z "I think there's no role for adding niacin just to increase the HDL." Niacin-statin combo tied to skin, muscle side effects 2013-02-27T21:19:13Z Experts will sift the tea leaves for any clues the trial may provide about the viability of the HDL hypothesis, while some experts believe that niacin may yet prove to be found beneficial.

Merck CEO says jury out on raising good cholesterol 2013-01-24T09:00:30Z B.M.I. and body fat percentage were the best predictors of raised blood pressure, while waist circumference and waist-to-height ratio were good predictors of elevated fasting glucose and reduced HDL cholesterol. Well: B.M.I. Found to Be Good Predictor of Risks 2012-12-24T19:41:25Z The HDL hypothesis is far from dead, but any claim of benefit due to raising HDL will need to be rigorously demonstrated in a large, well-designed clinical trial. 2012 In Review: A Bad Year For Conventional Wisdom 2012-12-24T14:00:07Z Niacin is thought to work mainly by raising HDL; he says that both his trial and Merck’s made the mistake of including too many people who are not at high enough risk. Why Merck's Niacin Failure Will Scare Drug Researchers 2012-12-20T19:11:09Z Part of the problem is that HDL is a mix of molecules that differ in size and composition. Pathology: At the heart of the problem 2013-01-30T18:23:07.253Z They calculated the average cholesterol levels at a given fasting time and found that both total cholesterol and HDL varied by less than two percent across the range of fasting durations. For cholesterol tests, fasting may not be required 2012-11-12T21:08:00Z Other HDL drugs, such as niacin and fibrates, which do attack the underlying cause, gradually raise HDL and may prevent heart attacks years after the start of therapy. Early Look: New Methods To Enhance Cholesterol Efflux 2012-11-06T00:22:10Z However, there was no correlation between baseline HDL level and clinical outcome. Dalcetrapib: Another HDL-Raising CETP Inhibitor Bites The Dust 2012-11-05T19:30:28Z The American Heart Association recommends that total cholesterol be less than 200 to prevent heart attacks and strokes, while LDL be less than 100 and HDL be above 60 to protect against heart disease. Drugs, healthier diets behind drop in U.S. cholesterol levels 2012-10-17T13:03:19Z If HDL were directly involved in protecting against heart disease, then individuals who have genetic variants associated with increased HDL production should have fewer heart attacks. Pathology: At the heart of the problem 2013-01-30T18:23:07.253Z Individuals with high LDL levels and low HDL levels are at a greater risk for developing coronary heart disease. Healthier Cholesterol Levels Among U.S. Adults 2012-10-17T13:35:23Z While the so-called bad cholesterol decreased, there was a slight uptick in HDL cholesterol, higher levels of which are associated with a reduced risk of heart disease. Well: Cholesterol Is Falling in Adults, Study Finds 2012-10-17T00:23:11Z However, among nearly 16,000 patients followed for an average of about 2 ½ years, this HDL cholesterol boost didn’t reduce patients’ risk of death, another heart attack, hospitalization for heart-related chest pain, or stroke. Dalcetrapib: Another HDL-Raising CETP Inhibitor Bites The Dust 2012-11-05T19:30:28Z Eating trans fat both raises LDL cholesterol and lowers HDL cholesterol. Cholesterol levels declining in U.S 2012-10-16T20:47:42Z Epidemiological studies consistently show that people who have high levels of HDL cholesterol in their blood have fewer heart attacks. Pathology: At the heart of the problem 2013-01-30T18:23:07.253Z Total cholesterol as well as LDL cholesterol levels were down, and levels of “good” HDL cholesterol were up.

HDL ?Good Cholesterol? Found Not to Cut Heart Risk 2012-05-17T14:54:10Z Sacks and his colleagues speculated that some types of HDL might be more protective than others. Pathology: At the heart of the problem 2013-01-30T18:23:07.253Z Unlike coffee, the epidemiology of HDL is clear-cut, and therefore the reverse association of HDL with cardiovascular disease is among the best established facts in all of medicine.

HDL ?Good Cholesterol? Found Not to Cut Heart Risk 2012-05-17T14:54:10Z Sacks wondered what effect the protein might have on the function of HDL. Pathology: At the heart of the problem 2013-01-30T18:23:07.253Z In some respects the HDL cholesterol story is exactly the opposite of the coffee story. You Know Nothing, Dr. Snow: Why Medicine Can't Be More Like Facebook 2012-05-18T19:03:23Z Among those groups, the higher the waist-to-height ratio, the higher their total cholesterol and the lower their good, or HDL, cholesterol.

HDL ?Good Cholesterol? Found Not to Cut Heart Risk 2012-05-17T14:54:10Z For people with the variant gene, the same HDL reduction was not linked to any increased risk of heart attack. Low "good" cholesterol doesn't cause heart attacks 2011-12-01T22:18:28Z It's known that industrial trans fats tend to raise people's levels of LDL cholesterol, while also lowering HDL cholesterol -- a double whammy against heart health. Natural trans fat may not boost "bad" cholesterol 2012-01-11T17:26:19Z The researchers, however, found no strong evidence that green tea boosted "good" HDL cholesterol, or cut triglycerides, another type of blood fat. Green tea may trim "bad" cholesterol: study 2011-11-17T03:53:31Z The finding that HDL went up and LDL went down as Americans consumed less trans fat appears to dovetail with what is known about the effects of trans fats on cardiovascular health.

HEALTHBEAT: Know your cholesterol numbers, but some doctors add extra test, confusing some 2011-10-24T21:42:51Z In other words, it seems like high HDL is correlated with low heart attack numbers. Cholesterol and Controversy: Past, present, and future 2011-11-15T16:15:00.277Z It found that the higher the woman's intake of trans fats -- which raise "bad" LDL cholesterol, but also lower heart-healthy HDL cholesterol -- during the second trimester of pregnancy, the larger her newborn was. More trans fat in pregnancy tied to bigger baby 2011-10-13T03:36:23Z Here again the idea was that a combination of drugs—one to lower LDL and one to raise HDL—should work better at reducing heart disease risk than any single medication. Cholesterol Conundrum 2011-10-25T15:15:00.250Z Another way to measure without an added test: Just subtract HDL from your total cholesterol number. Divide over when to use in-depth cholesterol tests 2011-10-24T21:45:09Z Trans fats are considered particularly unhealthy because they not only raise "bad" LDL cholesterol, but also lower heart-healthy HDL cholesterol. More trans fat during pregnancy tied to bigger baby 2011-10-12T17:21:24Z However, do HDL levels really matter if LDL levels are in check? Cholesterol and Controversy: Past, present, and future 2011-11-15T16:15:00.277Z Garaud said the main consideration may be "cholesterol efflux," meaning how well LDL is removed from the bloodstream as a result of boosting HDL.

Smoking in pregnancy cuts child's good cholesterol 2011-06-21T22:11:49Z Despite some of the uncertainties, several pharmaceutical companies were driven to explore potential cardio-protective effects of specifically raising HDL levels in the blood stream. Cholesterol and Controversy: Past, present, and future 2011-11-15T16:15:00.277Z HDL flushes fat deposits from arteries to the liver to be eliminated from the body. Roche Seeks $6.8 Billion Win on Heart Pill Where Pfizer Failed 2011-08-19T07:29:04Z Similarly, results from the second study, released in the spring of this year, show that raising HDL levels does not always translate into fewer heart attacks or strokes. Cholesterol Conundrum 2011-10-25T15:15:00.250Z HDL cholesterol, the good kind, helps fight artery build-up by carrying fats to the liver to be disposed of. NIH stops study of niacin to prevent heart attacks 2011-05-26T20:22:42Z The AIM-HIGH trial using Abbott’s drug Niaspan in conjunction with a statin that lowers LDL cholesterol—LDL “bad,” HDL “good,” probably a macro in some health reporters’ laptops—showed that the drug worked as billed. The HDL Conundrum: What's Bad about Drugs for Good Cholesterol? 2011-05-27T19:45:00.233Z HDL levels rose and triglycerides dropped among those taking niacin, also known as vitamin B3. Study: Boosting 'good' cholesterol useless 2011-05-27T00:53:09Z But given the unexpected results, some analysts expect more studies on the benefits of HDL. Study: No benefit in Abbott cholesterol drug 2011-05-27T00:35:22Z The study, dubbed Aim-High, followed patients with a history of heart disease and low levels of good, or HDL, cholesterol for 32 months, 18 months fewer than planned. Abbott’s Cholesterol Combo Fails to Protect Heart in Study 2011-05-26T18:40:31Z That's one reason that people with too little HDL also are at risk of heart disease. NIH stops study of niacin to prevent heart attacks 2011-05-26T20:22:42Z Yes, the epidemiology shows that high HDL is protective. The HDL Conundrum: What's Bad about Drugs for Good Cholesterol? 2011-05-27T19:45:00.233Z Low levels of HDL, the good kind that helps prevent artery clogs, as well as too many triglycerides, a different fat, also increase heart risk. NIH stops study of B vitamin to prevent heart attack 2011-05-26T16:01:09Z Researchers said niacin raised levels of high-density lipoproteins, or HDL, the "good" cholesterol, but that did not translate into fewer fatal and non-fatal heart problems. Taking niacin does not prevent heart problems: NIH 2011-05-26T15:18:07Z “To say that the HDL door is shut is premature” for other drugs under development to raise good cholesterol, he said. Abbott’s Cholesterol Combo Fails to Protect Heart in Study 2011-05-26T18:40:31Z As expected, the Niaspan users saw their HDL levels rise and their levels of risky triglycerides drop more than people who took a statin alone. NIH stops study of niacin to prevent heart attacks 2011-05-26T20:22:42Z So that should mean that raising HDL, which shuttles cholesterol from artery walls back to the liver for excretion, should prevent cardiovascular problems as well. The HDL Conundrum: What's Bad about Drugs for Good Cholesterol? 2011-05-27T19:45:00.233Z So scientists are testing whether adding various drugs to statins would increase HDL enough to protect the heart.
