May aid IHD risk stratification in men with conventional factors; leaves open whether TG/HDL modification alters outcomes.
Do low triglyceride and high HDL-C levels reduce the risk of ischemic heart disease in men with conventional risk factors?
Men with conventional risk factors for ischemic heart disease maintain a low risk of developing the disease if they have low triglyceride and high HDL-C levels.
