| | In subjects with a deficiency of CETP, the conversion of HDL to very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL) is blocked, leading to delayed catabolism of HDL CE, with consequent marked increases in the concentrations of HDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein A-I. Slide 20 of 27 | | | Elevated high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is epidemiologically associated with a decreased risk of coronary artery disease. | | | Tangier disease is probably associated with some increased risk of premature atherosclerotic vascular disease, but this risk does not seem to be proportional to the markedly decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) levels. |

| | THE MERCK MANUAL OF GERIATRICS, Ch. 63, Lipoprotein Disorders |
| | Secondary lipoprotein disorders are common, even among patients with a well-defined primary lipoprotein disorder, and may exacerbate the expression of the primary disorder, particularly severe hypertriglyceridemia. | | | The Lp(a) level should be measured in patients who have had an MI or a stroke or who have CAD and in patients who have other major CAD risk factors, because a high Lp(a) level probably acts synergistically with other risk factors. | | | Thus, when a primary lipoprotein disorder is first diagnosed, a physical examination should be performed, and a drug, occupational, family, dietary, and alcohol-intake history should be obtained. |
