HDL Particle Size and Functionality Comparison between Patients with and without Confirmed Acute Myocardial Infarction.

Conclusion: Despite an important current database on the HDL cholesterol role, our study provides relevant complementary information about the HDL particle susceptibility to the inflammation following AMI. The HDL particles' quantitative and functional attributes should be measured as markers of HDL functionality.
