Objectives
• Identify risk factors for dyslipidemia and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD)
• Classify patients based on their risk for future ASCVD events
• Describe statin and non-statin pharmacologic options for managing dyslipidemia
• Create a treatment plan for patients with dyslipidemia
Introduction• Cholesterol
• Vital structural component of cell membranes
• Necessary for hormone synthesis and bile acid production
• Lipoproteins• Transport cholesterol, triglycerides (TG), and fat-
soluble vitamins throughout the body
• Very-low-density-lipoproteins (VLDL)
•Carries TG
• High-density-lipoproteins (HDL)
•Carries more proteins, less cholesterol
• Low-density-lipoproteins (LDL)
•Carries cholesterol
•Friedewald equation: LDL = TC – HDL - (TG/5)
• TC = total cholesterol
• Not applicable if TG > 400 mg/dL
• Dyslipidemia
• Abnormal level of cholesterol and other lipids in the blood
• High low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and/or total cholesterol (TC)
• High triglycerides (TG)
• Low high-density lipoproteins (HDL)
• Risk factor of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD)
• Atherosclerosis
• Plaque build-up that affects coronary, cerebral, and peripheral arteries

Primary vs. Secondary Dyslipidemias
Primary or Familial Dyslipidemia
• Genetic or familial defects can contribute
• Severe cholesterol elevations, putting patient at risk for premature ASCVD
• Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) • LDL ≥ 500 mg/dL
• Heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) • LDL 250-450 mg/dL
Secondary or Acquired Dyslipidemia
• Diet –excessive alcohol, carbohydrate or fat intake, anorexia, weight gain,
• Drugs –atypical antipsychotics, diuretics, beta blockers, glucocorticoids, oral estrogen and progestin, tacrolimus
• Disorders –nephrotic syndrome, hypothyroidism, pregnancy
• Diseases or comorbid conditions –obesity, liver disease, uncontrolled diabetes, chronic kidney disease (CKD)
Dyslipidemia Risk Factors
Poor diet Obesity Lack of exercise Smoking
Pregnancy Hypertension Diabetes Drugs

ASCVD Risk Assessment
• Evaluates a patient's risk of having a cardiovascular event during the next 10 years
• Nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), coronary heart disease death, nonfatal and fatal stroke, and transient ischemic attack (TIA), or peripheral arterial disease (PAD) presumed to be of atherosclerotic origin
• Do not calculate for a patient who has already had a cardiovascular event
• Considered to have clinical ASCVD
https://tools.acc.org/ascvd-risk-estimator-plus/#!/calculate/estimate/
Lifestyle Modifications• Diet
• Increased intake of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, and healthy protein sources (low-fat dairy products, low-fat poultry, fish/seafood, nuts)
• Increased intake of soluble fiber
• Limit intake of sweets, sugar-sweetened beverages, and red meats
• Exercise
• Aerobic moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity 3-4 sessions/week, lasting ~40min/session
• Smoking cessation
Therapeutic Recommendations
2018 AHA/ACC Guideline on the Management of Blood Cholesterol
Statin Benefit Groups
Clinical ASCVDSevere
hypercholesterolemia (LDL ≥ 190 mg/dL)
40-75 years old with LDL 70-189 mg/dL and diabetes (no ASCVD)
40-75 years old with LDL 70-189 mg/dL and
estimated 10-year ASCVD risk ≥ 7.5% (no ASCVD, no diabetes)
Clinical ASCVD
• Initiate high intensity statin (HIS)• If HIS is contraindicated or statin-related ADRs emerge, then initiate
moderate intensity statin (MIS) or maximally-tolerated statin• Initiate ezetimibe if additional therapy is required• If on maximally-tolerated statin + ezetimibe but LDL ≥ 70 mg/dL or
non-HDL ≥ 100 mg/dL, then consider PCSK9 inhibitor
≤ 75 years old
• MIS or maximally-tolerated statin, after evaluation of potential for ASCVD risk reduction, adverse effects, DDIs, patient frailty, and patient preferences
> 75 years old
Severe Hypercholesterolemia (LDL ≥ 190 mg/dL)
• Initiate maximally-tolerated statin therapy
21 to 75 years old
• Add nonstatin therapy to maximally-tolerated statin
21 to 75 years old on statin therapy, but LDL reduction is < 50%
40-75 years old with LDL 70-189 mg/dL and diabetes (no ASCVD)
• Initiate (at least) a MIS
40 to 75 years old, regardless of 10-year ASCVD risk
• Initiate a HIS
40 to 75 years old with diabetes and multiple ASCVD risk factors
• Maximally-tolerated statin + ezetimibe
40 to 75 years old with diabetes and ASCVD risk score ≥ 20%
• Initiate maximally-tolerated statin after a clinician-patient discussion• Or continue statin therapy, if patient was already on a statin
> 75 years old with diabetes
40-75 years old with LDL 70-189 mg/dL and estimated 10-year ASCVD risk ≥ 7.5% (no ASCVD, no diabetes)
• Intermediate Risk• Can initiate a MIS
40 to 75 years old without diabetes, with LDL 70-189 mg/dL, and with ASCVD risk score ≥ 7.5% - < 20%
• High Risk• Can initiate a HIS
40 to 75 years old without diabetes, with LDL 70-189 mg/dL, and with ASCVD risk score ≥ 20%

Statin-associated Muscle Symptoms (SAMS)
•
•
•
•••
••
Risk Factors for SAMS
Advanced age (>65yo) Female Low BMI Frequent heavy
exercise
Increased serum statin
concentrations, due to increased dose or
DDIs
Hypothyroidism Renal impairment
Management of SAMSPatient with suspected
SAMS
Utilize Statin-Associated Muscle Symptoms Clinical
Index (SAMS-CI)
Low SAMS-CI Score
Evaluate for: other causes affecting musculoskeletal
system
Statin discontinuation
After symptoms resolution initiate: same dose of same statin OR alternative statin
of similar intensity
High SAMS-CI Score
Before diagnosing statin intolerance: review DDIs
and co-morbidities to assess for nonstatin causes
Statin discontinuation
After symptom resolution, initiate: lower dose of same statin OR alternative statin
of similar intensity OR statin with a different
pharmacokinetic profile
• Symptoms typically improve within 1-2 weeks of statin discontinuation
• Patient's symptoms should be reassessed 2-3 weeks after statin discontinuation
• Statins with longer half-lives can be dosed every other day or less often, which reduces exposure to therapy
• Addition of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is reported to provide relief, but is not supported by randomized clinical trials
• If patient cannot tolerate therapy despite trials of multiple statins, initiate nonstatin therapy
Case Question
Which of the following are appropriate therapeutic recommendations for a patient with a history of type 2 diabetes who requires a moderate intensity statin, but experienced muscle pain while on lovastatin 40mg daily? The patient has a high SAMS-CI score and a nonstatin cause of muscle pain cannot be identified.
a) Atorvastatin 10mg daily
b) Simvastatin 10mg daily
c) Atorvastatin 40mg daily
d) Simvastatin 40mg daily

Clinical Trial: IMPROVE-IT • Double blind, randomized trial
• Involved patients who had been hospitalized for ACS within preceding 10 days
