  1. Very low HDL cholesterol: The GSH Experience

    Ngarivume, KuraiDepartment of Medicine2022

    Background In epidemiological studies low HDL-C is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. In exceptional cases, e.g., patients with Apo A1 Milano, low levels of HDL-C are cardioprotective. Very little is known about the characteristics of South African patients with very low HDL-C. A …
