It's been known for sometime that tree nuts and peanuts contain "good fats" that protect the heart. Researchers have been studying the effects of specific nuts in the last couple of years on heart health. The macadamia nut has not received much attention, unfortunately.
Good news. New studies show that the macadamia nut is also heart-healthy. Here is a link to a recent study (one of several that have come out in the past year or so).

A 2003 study showed that macadamias may increase HDL, the good cholesterol.
Eat up!
