Atherosclerosis is associated with lipid accumulation and inflammation in the arterial wall,

I had heard a theory years ago that attempted to explain why some people with high levels of cholesterol didn't succumb to heart attacks or stroke and concluded that if you don't have inflammation in the arteries (which attracts the cholesterol and starts to cause a blockage) it dosen't really mater how high your HDL is because as long as it keeps moving through the arteries, it won't stick. Inflammation is the cause of so much disease.
