Abstract
In the January 1988 publication of the National Cholesterol Education Program on Detection, Evaluation and Treatment of High Blood Cholesterol in Adults, the expert listed 10 risk factors, hereafter termed «atherosclerotic risk factors», which were predictive of coronary arterial atherosclerotic events. This piece examines each of these risk factors to ask if each is an independent atherosclerotic risk factor or if is not

5,048 Citations1977Tavia Gordon, William P. Castelli +3 more
The major potent lipid risk factor was HDL cholesterol, which had an inverse association with the incidence of coronary heart disease in either men or women and these associations were equally significant even when other lipids and other standard risk factors for coronaryHeart disease were taken into consideration.

New guidelines for the treatment of high blood cholesterol in adults 20 years of age and over are provided and which patients should go on to have lipoprotein analysis, and which should receive cholesterol-lowering treatment on the basis of their low density lipop protein levels and status with respect to other coronary heart disease risk factors are detailed.

It is concluded that even after these adjustments, nonfasting HDL-C and total cholesterol levels are related to development of CHD in both men and women aged 49 years and older.
JAMAIs Relationship Between Serum Cholesterol and Risk of Premature Death From Coronary Heart Disease Continuous and Graded?
1,297 Citations1986Jeremiah Stamler
The data of high precision show that the relationship between serum cholesterol and CHD is not a threshold one, with increased risk confined to the two highest quintiles, but rather is a continuously graded one that powerfully affects risk for the great majority of middle-aged American men.

These data confirm findings from earlier studies in developed countries, showing age-related differences in plasma lipid levels, however, for overall distributions, the LRC data showed slightly lower cholesterol and markedly higher triglyceride values than those previously reported for North America.

The nine patients with juvenile diabetes with juvenile onset diabetes mellitus had significantly more extramural coronary luminal narrowing by atherosclerotic plaques than did the control subjects.

Mode of death, frequency of a healed or an acute myocardial infarct, or both, number of major epicardial coronary arteries severely narrowed by atherosclerotic plaque, and heart weight were studied at necropsy in 889 patients 30 years of age or older with fatal coronary artery disease.

37 Citations1987William C. Roberts
Hypertension is the sole underlying factor in most patients with nontraumatic cerebral arterial or aortic rupture and in association with hypercholesterolemia, hypertension clearly accelerates atherosclerosis and its devastating consequences.
