SET THE WAY-BACK
MACHINE
What Are We Used To?
• Adult Treatment Panel III Guidelines
(2001)
– Focused on:
• Primary prevention in patients with multiple risk
factors
• Modifications of lipid classification
Third report of the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) expert panel on detection, evaluation, and treatment of high blood cholesterol
in adults (adult treatment panel III): executive summary. National Cholesterol Education Program Web site. Available at:
http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/guidelines/ cholesterol/atp3xsum.pdf.
Adult Treatment Panel III
• Patients with multiple risk factors
– Patients with diabetes without CHD
• Raised to CHD risk level
– Used Framingham risk projections
– Patient with the Metabolic Syndrome
• Candidates for intensified TLC

in adults (adult treatment panel III): executive summary. National Cholesterol Education Program Web site. Available at:
http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/guidelines/ cholesterol/atp3xsum.pdf.
Adult Treatment Panel III
• Modified lipid classifications
– LDL-C < 100 mg/dL --- optimal
– Raised categorical HDL-C
• < 35 mg/dL to 40 mg/dL
– Lowered TG classifications
• Gives more attention to moderate elevations
Adult Treatment Panel III
• Supported implementing
– Complete lipoprotein profile
– Use of plant stanols and soluble fiber
– Importance of adherence to TLC and medication
therapies
– Identified importance of treating patients with TG
>200 mg/dL (Non-HDL-C)

in adults (adult treatment panel III): executive summary. National Cholesterol Education Program Web site. Available at:
http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/guidelines/ cholesterol/atp3xsum.pdf.
Adult Treatment Panel III
• Primary Target:
LDL-C
– Goal based on CV risk
• Secondary Target:
Non-HDL-C
– When LDL-C goal met and TG ≥ 200 mg/dL
– Goal is always the LDL-C goal + 30

Adult Treatment Panel III
• Secondary Prevention in patients with
established CVD
– LDL-C goal:
• 100 mg/dL, further reduction to 70 mg/dL
– If LDL-C < 70 mg/dL is not achievable due to high
baseline
• LDL-C reduction of 50% with statins and/or combination

Framingham Risk
• Framingham risk score
– 10 year risk of developing coronary heart disease
– Takes into account patient’s:

•
•
•
Age
Gender
Total cholesterol value
Smoking status
HDL-C value
SBP and treatment status

ACC/AHA Guidelines 2013
• Non-statin therapies de-emphasized
• Emphasized lifestyle as the foundation
to risk reduction

American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Task Force on Practice Guidelines: Available at:
http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/early/2013/11/11/01.cir.0000437738.63853.7a
What’s New?
1. Focus on ASCVD Risk Reduction:
–
4 statin benefit groups
2. New perspective on LDL-C and/or Non-HDL-C
treatment goals
3. Global risk assessment for primary prevention
4. Safety recommendations
5. Role of biomarkers and non-invasive tests

http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/early/2013/11/11/01.cir.0000437738.63853.7a
1. Four Statin Benefit Groups
• Four groups of primary and secondary
prevention
– Patients with clinical ASCVD
– Patients with LDL-C ≥ 190 mg/dL
– Patients with DM and no evidence of ASCVD
• 40 – 75 years old + LDL-C 70 – 189 mg/dL
– Patients w/o DM or ASCVD
• LDL-C 70 – 189 mg/dL + 10-yrsk of ASCVD ≥ 7.5%

http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/early/2013/11/11/01.cir.0000437738.63853.7a
Origins of the Groups
• Randomized controlled trials
– Who should get statin therapy and what intensity
– Lowering of LDL-C 30 – 50% or more
– Relative reduction in ASCVD risk consistent among
various patient groups
• Statin therapy reduces risk across spectrum of
baseline LDL-C > 70 mg/dL

http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/early/2013/11/11/01.cir.0000437738.63853.7a
Defining Statin Intensity
• What are the statin intensity groups?
– High intensity
• Lowers LDL-C ~ > 50%
– Moderate intensity
• Lowers LDL-C ~ 30 to 50%
– Low intensity
• Lowers LDL-C ~ < 30%
Rosuvastatin 20 – 40 mg
Atorvastatin 10 – 20 mg
Atorvastatin 40 – 80 mg
Rosuvastatin 5 – 10 mg
Simvastatin 20 – 40 mg
Pravastatin 40 – 80 mg
Lovastatin 40 mg
Fluvastatin XL 80 mg
Simvastatin
10 mg
Fluvastatin
40mg BID
Pravastatin
10 – 20
Pitavastatin
2 –mg
4 mg
Lovastatin 20 mg
Fluvastatin 20 – 40 mg
Pitavastatin 1 mg
2. LDL “Goals” Perspective
• Paradigm shift
– New perspective on treatment goals
• RCT evidence has only shown that ASCVD
events are reduced by using the maximum
tolerated statin dose
• The use of non-statin therapy
– i.e. ezetimibe and niacin
2013 ACC/AHA Guideline on the Treatment of Blood Cholesterol to Reduce Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Risk in Adults: A Report of the
American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Task Force on Practice Guidelines: Available at:
http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/early/2013/11/11/01.cir.0000437738.63853.7a
LDL “Goals” Perspective
• Secondary prevention
– Evidence only shows support for statin therapy to
maximally reduce LDL-C.
• No support for a target
• FH w/ LDL-C > 190 mg/dL
– May be difficult to achieve goal LDL-C < 100 despite
the use of 3 cholesterol-lowering medications
• However, if patient achieves 50% reduction they are
receiving evidence based therapy

http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/early/2013/11/11/01.cir.0000437738.63853.7a
3. Global Risk Assessment
• Primary prevention
– Use of a new pooled cohort equation
– Identifying patients most likely to benefit
– Who may not benefit
• Patient centered-approach
– Risk reduction benefit, ADEs, DDIs and patient
preference

Risk Calculator
• Accounts for patient’s
– Age, gender, ethnicity, SBP, …
Risk Calculator
Yes…There’s An App For That
4. Safety
• RCTs identified safety considerations
– i.e Pre-diabetes
• Management of muscle symptoms
• Use of pharmacists to aid in the safe use of
cholesterol lowering therapy
5. Biomarkers and Tests
• Role of biomarkers and non-invasive tests
– Included recommendations to consider using
•
•
•
•
•
LDL-C > 160 mg/dL
Evidence of genetic hyperlipidemias
Family history
hsCRP
CAC
CONTROVERSY
New Risk Calculator
• What was the equation/formula
– Not yet provided
– Not verified in prospective studies
• Of course, RCTs cannot available for every scenario
– Should not mean a lack of evidence though
– Relies heavily on age and gender
More Patients on Statins
• 30 million more patients statin eligible
• Younger than 40 years or older than 70
– May ignore treatment/prevention
– May over treat primary prevention patient
• Lack of risk factors in calculator
– Family history, CRP, Lp(a) or apoB

Statin-intolerant Patients
• Recommend determine causal relationship with
statin
• Investigate other possible causes
• Stopping and re-starting statin therapy
• Switch to another statin at a lower dose
• Truly intolerant statin?
Quality Measures
• What could this mean for quality measures
– No targets, but insurance companies
• Is lack of LDL-C goals a flaw?
• Necessary to repeat lipid levels?

Other Contentious Points
• No period for open comment/critique
• Apparent lack of attempt to correlate with other
guidelines

BMI = 25 kg/m^2
TC = 310 mg/dL
HDL-C = 50 mg/dL
TG = 400 mg/dL
LDL-C = 180 mg/dL
• Question: Should we start treatment?
• According to new calculator
– Risk calculator does not apply to him
• Less than 40 years old
– Even at 40 his 10-year risk is 3.1%
– “Eligible” for statin therapy at 58 years
– Comfortable waiting to start therapy?
• Of course you wouldn’t base decision solely on a
risk calculator
– If difficulty identifying patient for a statin group could
use other risks
• History of premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease
in first degree relative
• High sensitivity-reactive protein (CRP) > 2 mg/L
• Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) scan

Summary
• There is controversy, but…
• Should be treating diabetics more aggressively
• TLC remains a cornerstone
