In fact, HDL based therapies are challenging and their efficacy in reducing cardiovascular risks has not been uniform among all studies.  While some studies reported that raising HDL-cholesterol in patients with a low baseline serum concentration may be effective for secondary prevention of coronary heart disease, other studies failed to decrease cardiovascular risks by raising HDL.
 
==Prognosis and Complications==
===HDL Raising Therapies===
 
====Niacin====
According to several studies, [[niacin]] therapy is associated with increasing levels of [[HDL]] and decreasing cardiovascular events.  Increase in [[HDL]] level by niacin can be attributed to the direct effect of the drug itself as well as to niacin-induced decrease in triglyceride level. [[Niacin]] not only elevates HDL levels, but also improves the [[lipoprotein]] profile as a whole as it decreases LDL and triglycerides.  The direct effect of increasing HDL and improving cardiovascular outcomes is difficult to interpret as niacin's effects are not only limited to HDL but also include [[LDL]] and [[triglyceride]].
 
Shown below is a table summarizing some studies that have investigated the role of niacin in increasing [[HDL]].

===Challenging HDL-C Hypothesis===
Studies have proven the inverse relationship between HDL levels and cardiovascular risks.  Several therapies were designed to increase HDL levels aiming for secondary prevention of coronary heart diseases.  While some trials succeeded to improve the cardiovascular outcomes by increasing HDL quantity, other trials failed to achieve this goal.  The failure of these trials have raised questions regarding the efficacy of HDL-targeted therapies and the concept of improving HDL quality rather than quantity.  The main trials that failed to improve cardiovascular outcomes by raising HDL levels are [[ILLUSTRATE]], [[RADIANCE 1]], [[RADIANCE 2]], [[ILLUMINATE Trial]] and [[Dal-OUTCOMES Trial]] which investigated CETP inhibitors as well as [[AIM-HIGH Trial]] which investigated the combination of niacin and statin. The failure of the CETP inhibitors studies can be attributed to the associated increase in [[blood pressure]] or direct impairment of the HDL quality by the CETP inhibitor.<ref name="pmid18239670">{{cite journal| author=Joy T, Hegele RA| title=Is raising HDL a futile strategy for atheroprotection? | journal=Nat Rev Drug Discov | year= 2008 | volume= 7 | issue= 2 | pages= 143-55 | pmid=18239670 | doi=10.1038/nrd2489 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=18239670  }} </ref>
