High-density lipoprotein (HDL) possesses antiath-erogenic properties that include reverse cholesterol transport (RCT), maintenance of endothelial function, and protection against thrombosis.1,2 The concentration of HDL is largely determined by the cholesteryl ester transfer pro-tein (CETP) that decreases the ratio of HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) over low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C). In this review, we will discuss the rationale and effec-tiveness of using HDL as a therapeutic target, by reducing CETP activity, as a means of cardiovascular morbidity reduction
