OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine whether concurrently high levels of HDL cholesterol and CRP predict initial cardiovascular events in women, and to assess additional risk involving two genes encoding proteins involved in reverse cholesterol transport. METHODS: A graphical approach identified high-risk subgroups in a population-based female cohort. Polymorphism-associated risk was assessed for CETP (TaqIB...
