Background The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) has designated high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) greater than or equal to 60 mg/dl a "negative" coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factor, but a substantial proportion of coronary events occur among women despite high HDL-C levels.Methods and Results The objective of this study was to characterize postmenopausal women with prevalent CHD despite HDL-C greater than or equal to 60 mg/dl and to identify factors that may attenuate the protective effect of high HDL-C. We analyzed baseline data from a randomized, double-blind study of estrogen/progestin replacement therapy in 2763 postmenopausal women
