20 Risk categories 20 Very high-risk Subjects with any of the following: Documented CVD, clinical or unequivocal on imaging. Documented clinical CVD includes previous AMI, ACS, coronary revascularization and other arterial revascularization procedures, stroke and TIA, aortic aneurysm and PAD. Unequivocally documented CVD on imaging includes significant plaque on coronary angiography or carotid ultrasound. It does NOT include some increase in continuous imaging parameters such as intima media thickness of the carotid artery. DM with target organ damage such as proteinuria or with a major risk factor such as smoking or marked hypercholesterolaemia or marked hypertension. Severe CKD (GFR <30 ml/min/1.73 m 2 ). A calculated SCORE >10%.

21 Risk categories 21 High-risk Subjects with: Markedly elevated single risk factors such as familial dyslipidaemias and severe hypertension. Most other people with diabetes (some young people with type 1 diabetes may be at low or moderate risk). Moderate CKD (GFR ml/min/1.73 m 2 ). A calculated SCORE 5% and < 10% for 10- year risk of fatal CVD. Moderaterisk Low-risk Subjects are considered to be at moderate risk when their SCORE is 1% and < 5% at 10 years. Many middle-aged subjects belong to this risk category. The low risk category applies to individuals with SCORE < 1%

23 23 Lipid analyses as treatment targets Recommendations Class Level Non-HDL-C should be considered as a secondary treatment target. ApoB should be considered as a secondary treatment target, whenavailable. HDL-C is not recommended as a target for treatment. The ratios apob/apoa1 and non-hdl-c/hdl-c are not recommended as targets for treatment. IIa IIa III III B B A B

24 24 Treatment goals for LDL-cholesterol Recommendations Class Level In patients at VERY HIGH CV risk, an LDL-C goal of <1.8 mmol/l (70 mg/dl) or a reduction of at least 50% if the baseline LDL-C is between 1.8 and 3.5 mmol/l (70 and 135 mg/dl) is recommended. In patients at HIGH CV risk, an LDL-C goal of <2.6 mmol/l (100 mg/dl), or a reduction of at least 50% if the baseline LDL- C is between 2.6 and 5.2 mmol/l (100 and 200 mg/dl) is recommended. I I B B In subjects at LOW or MODERATE risk an LDL-C goal of <3.0 mmol/l ( <115 mg/dl) should be considered. IIa C

25 25 Intervention strategies Total CV risk (SCORE) % <70 mg/dl <1.8 mmol/l 70 to <100 mg/dl 1.8 to <2.6 mmol/l LDL-C levels 100 to <155 mg/dl 2.6 to <4.0 mmol/l 155 to <190 mg/dl 4.0 to <4.9 mmol/l <1 Lifestyle advice Lifestyle advice Lifestyle advice Lifestyle advice 190 mg/dl 4.9 mmol/l Lifestyle advice, consider drug if uncontrolled Class/Level I/C I/C I/C I/C IIa/A 1 to <5 Lifestyle advice Lifestyle advice Lifestyle advice, consider drug if uncontrolled Lifestyle advice, consider drug if uncontrolled Lifestyle advice, consider drug if uncontrolled Class/Level I/C I/C IIa/A IIa/A I/A 5 to <10, or high-risk Lifestyle advice Lifestyle advice, consider drug if uncontrolled Lifestyle advice and drug treatment for most Lifestyle advice and drug treatment Lifestyle advice and drug treatment Class/Level IIa/A IIa/A IIa/A I/A I/A 10 or very high-risk Lifestyle advice, consider drug a Lifestyle advice and concomitant drug treatment Lifestyle advice and concomitant drug treatment Lifestyle advice and concomitant drug treatment Lifestyle advice and concomitant drug treatment Class/Level IIa/A IIa/A I/A IA I/A a In patients with myocardial infarction, statin therapy should be considered irrespective of total cholesterol levels.

26 Recommendations for the pharmacological treatment of elevated LDL-cholesterol Prescribe statin up to the highest recommended dose or highest tolerable dose to reach the goal. In the case of statin intolerance, ezetimibe or bile acid sequestrants, or these combined, should be considered. If goal is not reached, statin combination with a cholesterol absorption inhibitor should be considered. If goal is not reached, statin combination with a bile acid sequestrant may be considered. In patients at very high risk, with persistent high LDL- C despite treatment with maximal tolerated statin dose, in combination with ezetimibe or in patients with statin intolerance, a PCSK9 inhibitor may be considered.

28 Treatment of dyslipidaemia in older adults Recommendations Class Level Treatment with statins is recommended for older adults with established CVD in the same way as for younger patients. I A Since older people often have co-morbidities and have altered pharmacokinetics, lipidlowering medication should be started at a lower dose and then titrated with caution to achieve target lipid levels that are the same as in younger subjects. IIa C Statin therapy should be considered in older adults free from CVD, particularly in the presence of hypertension, smoking, diabetes and dyslipidaemia. IIa B

29 Management of dyslipidaemia in women Statin treatment is recommended for primary prevention of CAD in high-risk women. Statins are recommended for secondary prevention in women with the same indications and targets as in men. Lipid-lowering drugs should not be given when pregnancy is planned, during pregnancy or during the breastfeeding period. However, bile acid sequestrants (which are not absorbed) may be considered.

30 Lipid management in patients with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease Recommendations Class Level Patients with stage 3 5 CKD have to be considered at high or very high CV risk. I A The use of statins or statin/ezetimibe combination is indicated in patients with nondialysis-dependent CKD. In patients with dialysis-dependent CKD and free of atherosclerotic CVD, statins should not be initiated. I III A A In patients already on statins, ezetimibe or on a statin/ezetimibe combination at the time of dialysis initiation, these drugs should be continued particularly in patients with CVD. IIa C In adult kidney transplant recipients treatment with statins may be considered. IIb C

Tips to aid adherence to multiple drug therapies 1. Agree on rather than dictate a drug regimen to your patient and tailor it to his/her personal lifestyle and needs. 2.

31 Tips to aid adherence to multiple drug therapies 1. Agree on rather than dictate a drug regimen to your patient and tailor it to his/her personal lifestyle and needs. 2. Back up verbal instructions with clear written instructions. 3. Simplify the dosing regimen and consider a fixed dose combination pill where available. 4. Perform a regular review of medicines to minimize polypharmacy (or ask the pharmacist to assist). 5. Encourage self-monitoring and use cues and technologies to act as reminders. 6. Provide information on common side effects and discuss management strategies. 7. Involve the partner, other family members or the caregiver in the patient s treatment.
