Brief Summary: The investigators want to study the relative effects of physical exercise vs extended-release niacin lipid-lowering drug in patients with coronary heart disease and low HDL cholesterol good cholesterol on

lipid profile
endothelial function as measured by ultrasound

The endothelium is the inner part of the blood vessels Impaired endothelial function is known to be associated with atherosclerosis which can ultimately lead to diseases such as stroke heart attack and others Endothelial function can be assessed non-invasively by ultrasound

Both interventions mentioned above have been shown to have a beneficial effect on lipid profile and endothelial function However the relative effects are unclear
Detailed Description: Comparison of physical exercise vs extended-release niacin in patients with CAD and low HDL cholesterol 103 mmolL on lipid profile and endothelial function as measured by flow-mediated dilatation of radial artery Secondary goals are the assessment of biochemical markers of atherosclerosis expression of monocyte surface markers oxidative stress and thrombogenicity
