Abstract
It has been observed that low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol was associated with the development of depression in a healthy individual. Further, there has been verified observation that there is an association between depression and the etiology of cardiac-related problems like angina pectoris, myocardial infarction including death due to cardiac arrest.
