Triglycerides, HDL and coronary disease. Consensus conference : National Institutes of Health 1992

The article describes the conclusions and recommendations of the panel. A review of the information on HDL-cholesterol and coronary heart disease provides considerable evidence of a causal relationship. In the case of serum triglycerides, the data are ambiguous; although strong associations are found in some studies, evidence of a causal relation is still incomplete. Seen in relation to the latest Norwegian programme for treatment of hypercholesterolemia in adults, greater emphasis should be placed on measuring HDL-cholesterol. A complete initial lipid profile should also include determination of serum triglycerides. When taking these factors into consideration, the present Norwegian recommendations seem to be appropriate for evaluating and treating hyperlipidemia.
