Issues in the 2016 guidelines keep LDL-C targets < 2.0 mmol/l lower is better non-fasting lipids to screen non-hdl-c and apo B are alternate targets Framingham or cardiovascular age statins remain foundational Rx non-statins: ezetimibe OK; niacin, fibrates less so PCSK9-inhibitors Anderson et al.

Statin doses and efficacy Am J Cardiol 2003; 92:152-60.

Statin discontinuation = reduced survival Side effects are the most common reason patients discontinue statins 1 Survival is reduced in patients who discontinue, even compared to those on non-daily statin doses 2 Survival (%) Statin continued/daily dose Statin continued/non-daily dose Statin discontinued Years 1. Cohen et al. J Clin Lipidol 2012;6:208 215. 2. Mampuya et al. Am Heart J 2013;166:597 603.

Statin intolerance 1) statins not withheld on the basis of a potential, small risk of new-onset DM (Strong/Very Low). 2) evaluate purported statin-associated symptoms systematically, observe during cessation, reinitiation (same or switch), altered dosing frequency to find a tolerated, statin-based therapy. (Strong/Very Low). 3) we do not recommend vitamins, minerals or supplements for symptoms of myalgia perceived to be statin-associated. (Strong/Very Low).

Approach to the statin intolerant patient 1. Rechallenge with another statin - better tolerated: fluva, prava 2. Alternating day statin - most efficacious: rosuva 3. Use a different lipid-lowering class - CAI: ezetimibe - resin: cholestyramine, colesevalam - fibrate? 4. Coenzyme Q10: 60 120 mg daily 5. Vitamin D (1000 IU daily) Joy TR, Hegele RA.

Take home points 1. Guidelines: - LDL-centric; non-fasting lipids OK 2. Statins: - use first 3. Non-statins: - use ezetimibe next 4. PCSK9i: - alirocumab and evolocumab approved - HeFH and ASCVD not controlled - regression study positive - outcome study positive 5. Fibrates: - TG > 10 mmol/l pancreatitis prophylaxis - TG 5 9.9 mmol/l study ongoing 81
