Educational Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to
demonstrate the ability to:
• Examine the need for comprehensive lipid management in
dyslipidemic patients who sustain an ACS
• Compare the relative effectiveness of existing treatments to raise
HDL-C and reduce CVD risk
• Explain the rationale for developing novel agents to increase HDL-C
• Provide an overview of clinical trials evaluating efficacy and safety of
emerging therapies to modulate HDL-C
Key Learning Messages
• Lowering LDL-C reduced CVD risk in patients with CAD
• There is much residual CVD risk even with intense statin therapy
• But half of ACS patients present with LDL-C of 100-120 mg/dL
• Low HDL-C is an independent CVD risk factor
• High HDL-C is antiatherogenic, antiinflammatory, antioxidant, antithrombotic
• Should HDL-C be a target of therapy to reduce CVD risk?
• Niacin and fibrates may increase HDL-C, but do not reduce CVD risk
• CETP inhibitors may increase HDL-C and reduce CVD risk
• Emerging CETP inhibitors are mechanistically diverse
• HDL consists of heterogeneous particles, not all of which are functional
• Functional HDL has high cholesterol efflux capacity
• High cholesterol efflux capacity is associated with antiatherogenic effect

Lifetime burden stratified for risk factor burden years among Framingham Heart Study participants free of CVD at 50 years.
Optimal risk factors defined as total cholesterol <180 mg/dL, BP <120/<80 mmHg, nonsmoker, and nondiabetic.
Nonoptimal risk factors are defined as total cholesterol 180–199 mg/dL, systolic BP 120–139 mmHg, diastolic BP 80–89 mmHg, nonsmoker, and
nondiabetic. Elevated risk factors are defined as total cholesterol 200–239 mg/dL, systolic BP 140–159 mmHg, diastolic BP 90–99 mmHg,
nonsmoker, and nondiabetic. Major risk factors are defined as total cholesterol ≥240 mg/dL, systolic BP ≥160 mmHg, diastolic BP ≥100 mmHg,
smoker, and diabetic. CVD = cardiovascular disease; BP = blood pressure.
Lloyd-Jones DM et al. Circulation. 2006;113:791-798.
Lowering LDL-C Alone only Moderately
Reduces CHD Risk
• Major statin trials consistently show an approximate 25%-40%
risk reduction for cardiovascular events, regardless of baseline
LDL-C levels1,2
• Despite on-therapy LDL-C <80 mg/dL, a significant number of
ACS patients still have events3,4
• Even with aggressive LDL-C lowering, residual risk remains high
for at least 2 years following an index event, since 2/3-3/4 of
CHD events are not avoided1
• There is a great need for further improvement in cardiovascular
risk reduction5
CHD = coronary heart disease

Should High-density Lipoprotein Be a
Target of Therapy ?
ATP III Guidelines on HDL-C:
“Current documentation of risk reduction through
controlled clinical trials is not sufficient to warrant setting a
specific goal value for raising HDL-C”
However, there are more clinical data to justify HDL-C as
a therapeutic target in 2011 than there were for LDL-C in
1998.

Effects of Lifestyle Modifications on
HDL-C Levels
• Weight Reduction
− For every 3 kg (7 lb) of weight loss, HDL-C levels increase 1 mg/dL
• Smoking Cessation
− HDL-C levels in smokers are 7%-20% lower than those in
nonsmokers
− HDL-C levels return to normal within 30-60 days after smoking
cessation
• Exercise
− Aerobic exercise (40 min, 3-4 times weekly) increases HDL-C by
about 2.5 mg/dL

Dalcetrapib and Torcetrapib Differ in Mechanism
by Which They Decrease CETP Activity
dal
HDL
• Dalcetrapib binds to CETP,
inducing a conformational change
to CETP that hinders its further
association to HDL1
• Dalcetrapib binds to CETP only2
CETP
tor or ana
HDL
• Torcetrapib or anacetrapib binding
to CETP results in a high affinity
complex of CETP inhibitor, HDL,
and CETP2,3
NB: The clinical relevance of these differences is unknown; these compounds have not been
studied in head-to-head clinical trials. Therefore, no conclusion should be drawn based on these
comparisons. Clinical development of torcetrapib was halted due to off-target adverse effects.

Conclusions
• Residual CV risk remains problematic despite statinmediated LDL-C reduction
• Low levels of HDL-C is an independent risk factor for CHD
and meta-analyses and multivariate regression support the
hypothesis that raising HDL-C reduces risk for CVD
• A variety of therapeutic approaches to elevate HDL-C are
being tested prospectively in randomized trials
• HDL-C consists of heterogeneous particles, not all of which
possess functional anti-atherogenic properties
• CETP inhibitors are among the most important novel
therapies for the elevation of functional HDL
