6 CTTC meta-analysis of statin trials

7 Lessons from the CTTC meta-analysis Statins lower risk to the same relative degree independent of baseline risk and baseline LDL-C The absolute risk benefit with statins is greatest in the highest risk patients High intensity vs. lower intensity statin therapy further lowers risk No RCT has tested a specific strategy of dosing statin to achieve a pre-specified LDL-C target However, evidence suggests that treatment at lower and lower levels, leading to lower and lower achieved LDL-C levels, supports a "lower is better" philosophy 1.

24 Overview The primacy of LDL cholesterol as a risk factor New mechanism for LDL lowering The 2016 CCS lipid guidelines

25 Lipid Guidelines

26 Major Changes Since 2012 Guidelines 26 Change Lipid screening for both men and women 40 years of age Inclusion of screening for women with a history of hypertensive diseases of pregnancy Non-fasting lipid determination recommendation LDL-C as primary, non-hdl-c or apob as alternative targets Detailed review of the impact of nutritional components on lipids and CV events Broader treatment recommendations for those in intermediate risk category Retention of treatment targets for those on therapy Statins remain drugs of choice New recommendation for non-statin drugs LDL-C low density lipoprotein cholesterol; apo B apolipoprotein B; CKD chronic kidney disease; DASH Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension 26

27 How to Screen 27 Recommendations We recommend non-fasting lipid and lipoprotein testing which can be performed in adults in whom screening is indicated as part of a comprehensive risk assessment to reduce CVD events. Strong Recommendation, High Quality Evidence We suggest that for individuals with a history of triglyceride levels > 4.5 mmol/l that lipid and lipoprotein levels be measured fasting Conditional Recommendation, Low Quality Evidence Practical tip: Compared to fasting lipid values, there will be minimal change with non HDL-C, a slight decrease in LDL-C and small increase in triglyceride concentrations when individuals do not fast. 27

28 Intermediate-Risk Population Inclusion Criteria (Target Risk 1.0%/yr) Women 60 yrs, men 55 yrs with at least one additional Risk Factor Increased WHR Smoking Low HDL-C Dysglycemia Mild renal dysfunction Family history of CHD Exclusion Criteria: CVD or indication(s) or contraindication(s) to study drugs No strict BP or LDL-C criteria for entry Uncertainty principle 5

29 CV Death, MI, Stroke, Cardiac Arrest, Revasc, Heart Failure Cumulative Hazard Rates HR (95% CI) = 0.75 ( ) P-value = Placebo Rosuvastatin Rosuva Placebo Years

30 2016 CCS Lipid Guidelines Statin Indicated Conditions (those who will benefit the most): Clinical atherosclerosis* Abdominal aortic aneurysm Most diabetes mellitus CKD (age >50 years) LDL-C 5.0 mmol/l Treatment Targets: LDL-C consistently <2.0 mmol/l or >50% reduction Consider <1.8 mmol/l in patients with clinical atherosclerosis Apo B 0.80 g/l or non-hdl-c 2.6 mmol/l can be considered as alternative treatment targets *Clinical atherosclerosis, i.e. previous MI, or coronary revascularization by PCI or CABG surgery, other arterial revascularization procedures, angina pectoris, cerebrovascular disease including TIA, or peripheral arterial disease (claudication and/or ABI <0.9). Anderson TJ et al. Canadian Cardiovascular Society Guidelines for the management of Dyslipidemia for the Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease in the Adult, Canadian Journal of Cardiology (2016), doi: / j.cjca

31 Non Statin Drugs for ASCVD Prevention We recommend ezetimibe as second-line therapy to lower LDL-C in patients with clinical cardiovascular disease if targets are not reached on maximally tolerated statin therapy. (Strong Recommendation, High Quality evidence) Dyslipidemia Guidelines

32 Recommendations for PCSK9i in FH and ASCVD We suggest the use of PCSK9 inhibitors (evolocumab, alirocumab) to lower LDL-C for patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia whose LDL-C remains above target despite maximally tolerated statin therapy (Conditional recommendation, moderate quality evidence) We suggest that PCSK9 inhibitors be considered to lower LDL-C for patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in those not at LDL-C goal despite maximally tolerated statin +/- ezetimibe therapy (Conditional recommendation, moderate quality evidence) Dyslipidemia Guidelines

33 SUMMARY 1. The primacy of LDL cholesterol as a risk factor and a target of therapy is firmly established. 2. Statins remain the foundation of lipid-related risk reduction. However, many patients are unable to reach target on statin monotherapy. 3. The 2016 lipid guidelines recommend the use of non-fasting lipid levels for screening, expand the indications for statin therapy in intermediate risk patients, and call for more aggressive LDLlowering in ASCVD, including the use of non-statin drugs.
