Abstract

The article presents a study on the epidemiology of cholesterol efflux capacity and its connection to incident atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease outcomes. Topics covered include high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol concentration, the ability to assess the clinical relevance of reverse cholesterol transport in humans, and the use of the National Death Index to determine vital status for trial participants.
