The ABC-5* Study on Heart Disease

Baseline plasma total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglyceride levels at the time of ACS were not associated with long-term global mortality.
Only an independent inverse association between TC and LDL levels and non-cardiac death was observed.
The associations seem to be mostly independent of anti-lipid treatment, suggesting that the core prognostic issue lies on the lipid levels per se.
