Found high bp and high cholesterol levels shown to increase likelihood of heart disease
1957
Cholesterol level, bp, and electrocardiogram abnormalities found to increase the risk of heart disease
1961
high levels of HDL cholesterol found to reduce risk of death

New genetic associated with blood lipid levels, lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides and HDL are reported in a study based on data
