PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Review updates for the association of HDL-cholesterol with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and discuss the approach to incorporating HDL-cholesterol within risk assessment.

RECENT FINDINGS: There is a U-shaped relationship between HDL-cholesterol and ASCVD. Both low HDL-cholesterol (< 40 mg/dL in men, < 50 mg/dL in women) and very-high HDL-cholesterol (≥ 80 mg/dL in men) are associated with a higher risk of all-cause and ASCVD mortality, independent from traditional risk factors. There has been inconsistency for the association between very-high HDL-cholesterol and mortality outcomes in women. It is uncertain whether HDL-cholesterol is a causal ASCVD risk factor, especially due to mixed results from Mendelian randomization studies and the collinearity of HDL-cholesterol with established risk factors, lifestyle behaviors, and socioeconomic status. HDL-cholesterol is a risk factor or risk enhancer in primary prevention and high-risk condition in secondary prevention when either low (men and women) or very-high (men). The contribution of HDL-cholesterol to ASCVD risk calculators should reflect its observed U-shaped association with all-cause and ASCVD mortality.
