and how to treat dysfunctional HDL – an overlooked cardiovascular risk.
For decades we’ve recognized high-density lipoprotein (HDL) as a protector of the cardiovascular system. There’s truth to that concept, but it’s too simplistic.
In the last 20 years a growing body of research in top-tier journals has exposed a hidden truth to HDL particles – HDL dysfunction.
