2 2 Objectives After participating in this activity the audience will be able to: Discuss recent released guidelines for cholesterol management Identify individuals that would benefit from treatment with statins Prescribe appropriate intensity of statin based on an individuals risk category Identify individuals who may have residual risk that requires additional management beyond LDL-C reduction

3 Published online November

4 Collaboration with ACC/AHA and the NHLBI Timeline NCEP ATP III Update (2004) NHLBI initiated guideline process (2008) Institute of Medicine Report on Trustworthy Guidelines (2011): Focus specifically on highest quality evidence and Partner with other organizations to develop recommendations Collaboration with ACC/AHA and the NHLBI (June 2013) Charge to ACC/AHA Update clinical practice recommendations for treatment to decrease CVD based on RCTs, systematic reviews and metaanalyses of RCTs. Evaluate higher quality randomized controlled trial (RCT) evidence for cholesterol lowering drug therapy to reduce ASCVD risk RCTs and systematic reviews/metaanalyses of RCTs were independently assessed for quality Less expert opinion than in prior guidelines Use Critical Questions to create the evidence search to develop the guideline Stone,N., 2014 Presentation NLA Scientific Sessions 4

Exp Opin Emerg Drugs 2004;9(2): LaRosa JC et al. N Engl J Med 2005;352:e-version 200 (5.2)

6 6 3 Critical Questions 1. What is the evidence for LDL-C and Non HDL-C goals for secondary prevention of ASCVD? Reviewed 19 RCTs 2. What is the evidence for LDL-C and Non HDL-C goals for primary prevention of ASCVD? Reviewed 6 RCTs 3. For primary and secondary prevention, what is the impact of lipid levels/effectiveness and safety of specific cholesterol modifying drugs used for lipid management in general and in selected subgroups? The recommendations regarding whom to treat and with what intensity are based on the synthesis of this evidence.

7 7 BENEFITS OF STATINS AND SHORT TERM VASCULAR RISK Cholesterol Treatment Trialists Cochrane Collaboration

8 Predicted 5-year Benefits of LDL-C Reductions with Statins at Different Levels of Risk Major Vascular Events Vascular Deaths 8 1 mmol= mg/dl 2.5 mmol is mg/dl Jackson, R.(2014) Curr Opin Lipid Vol 25,4: Mihaylova, B. et al Lancet 2012; 380:

21 22 Gaps in Evidence Little or No RCT data Triglycerides > 500 LDL-C > 190mg/dL Statin intolerant/phobic Renal failure Multiple co-morbidites For questions regarding complex lipid disorders that are beyond the scope of (this) systematic evidence review, or for which little or no RCT data are available, it is anticipated that clinicians with lipid expertise can contribute to their management

22 NLA Recommendations for Patient-Centered Management of Dyslipidemia Expert panel consensus view Treatment Goals Communicate progress Individual goal based on risk 23 Risk LDL-C Non HDL-C* Low <100 <130 Mod <100 <130 High <100 <130 Very High <70 <100 *Non HDL-C superior to LDL-C

23 24 Non-HDL-C Total Cholesterol HDL = Non-HDL Elevated in patients with increased Cardiometabolic risk Diabetes Metabolic Syndrome Obesity Adiposopathy Labs Results: Elevated Triglycerides Low HDL-C Normal/low LDL-C Small dense LDL Elevated Glucose Abnormal Liver enzymes Elevated markers of inflammation hs-crp Sum of all atherogenic particles

24 25 Triglycerides and CVD Increased Risk PROVE-IT and IDEAL Patients with TGs >150mg/dL were at increased risk even if LDL-C treated to <70mg/dL Genetic: Type I-Lipoprotein Lipase Type IV-Endogenous Secondary causes of hypertriglyceridemia: Diet, Drugs, Diseases/Disorders Treatment Optimize nutrition, weight loss and lifestyle changes For TGs mg/dl, target of therapy is Non HDL-C and LDL-C TGs are not a target for therapy unless >500mg/dL to prevent pancreatitis Medical therapy: statin, fibrates, niacin, prescription strength fish oil Vijay,K. Haffey, T, The Triglyceride Enigma, Lipid Spin. Vol 12, 4

25 26 Low HDL and CV Risk Low HDL-C is a risk factor for CHD, irrespective of LDL-C. Elevated LDL-C and TG greatly increases risk of CHD in patients with low HDL-C. Observational studies suggest that each 1- mg/dl incremental decrease in HDL-C is associated with a 2 3% increase in CHD risk. Ansell BJ. Cleve Clin J Med. 2007;74(10): ,

26 27 Low HDL and CVD Low HDL portends: Increased risk for MI and CAD Mortality (Goldbourt, 2007) Stroke in elderly (Qeverling-Rijnsburger, 2003) Sudden death (Burke, 1999) Re-stenosis after angioplasty (Shah, 1992) Severe, premature atherosclerotic disease in proximal left main (Pearson, 1979) Increased risk for retinopathy in diabetic pts (Sasongko, 2011) For every 1mg/dL drop in HDL-C, risk for DM2 increases 4% (Stern, 2002) Davidson, M.,(2012) HDL Masters class
