Core Tip	Epidemiological studies have shown that low plasma levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) represent a cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor. However, recent studies challenge the concept that an increase of plasma HDL-C will uniformly translate into a reduction in CVD risk. Certain patients with atherosclerosis may have “dysfunctional” HDL despite normal HDL-C levels. Furthermore, HDL-C levels are influenced by dietary patterns, drugs or concomitant diseases. The association of the structure of HDL particle with its functionality and metabolism has not been fully clarified. More research is needed to assess the association of HDL functionality with CVD risk.
