My HDL, without a statin, is well over 100. It is around 90 with medication. Family history is really important in evaluating the risk of a high HDL level as well as other factors that may contribute to the development of heart disease. My cardiologist is great. I see him twice a year and he spends close to an hour with me each time. A controlled HDL of 90, tied with all other factors, is a risk we’re both comfortable with.
