This review and meta-regression concluded that increasing the amount of high density lipoprotein cholesterol with lipid modifying treatment did not reduce the risk of coronary heart disease events and death or all-cause deaths. Results supported recommendations for reducing low density lipoprotein cholesterol with lipid-modifying interventions. This was a well-conducted review and the authors’conclusions were likely to be reliable.
