Abstract: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains one of the leading causes of mortality globally [1]. An established risk factor for CVD is dyslipidemia, characterized by high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), elevated triglycerides and low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) [2]. HDL has long been considered to offer protection against CVD due to its role in reverse cholesterol transport and anti-inflammatory properties [3]. In clinical practice, HDL measurements are utilized to assess cardiovascular risk, inform treatment decisions, and guide preventive strategies.
