The Evans County Heart Study was a long-term cardiovascular study on residents of Evans County, Georgia. The study, which was funded by the National Institute of Health, lasted from 1958 to 1995. It resulted in more than 560 published papers that ultimately showed the importance of HDL cholesterol.[1] The study was begun by Dr. Curtis Gordon Hames, a family doctor from Claxton, Georgia.
