===Class I===
'''1.'''  Dietary therapy for all patients should include reduced intake of saturated fats (to less than 7% of total calories), transfatty acids, and cholesterol (to less than 200 mg per day). ''(Level of Evidence: B)''
 
'''2.''' Recommended lipid management includes assessment of a fasting lipid profile: ''(Level of Evidence: A)''


*'''Primary goal''' of lipid management is to achieve a '''[[LDL]]-C level of less than 100 mg/dL'''.
:'''a.''' LDL-C should be less than 100 mg per dL. ''(Level of Evidence: A)''
:*If baseline [[LDL]]-C is greater than or equal to 100 mg per dL, LDL lowering drug therapy should be initiated in addition to therapeutic lifestyle changes.
:*When LDL-lowering medications are used in high-risk or moderately high-risk persons, it is recommended that intensity of therapy be sufficient to achieve a 30% to 40% reduction in LDL-C levels.
:*If on-treatment LDL-C is greater than or equal to 100 mg per dL, LDL-lowering drug therapy should be intensified.
:*If baseline LDL-C is 70 to 100 mg per dL, it is reasonable to treat LDL-C to less than 70 mg per dL.


*'''Secondary goal''' of lipid management is to achieve '''non–[[HDL]]-C‡ of less than 130 mg per dL''' if [[triglycerides]] are 200 to 499 mg per dL.
:'''b.''' If baseline [[LDL]]-C is greater than or equal to 100 mg per dL, LDL-lowering drug therapy should be initiated in addition to therapeutic lifestyle changes. When LDL lowering medications are used in high-risk or moderately high-risk persons, it is recommended that intensity of therapy be sufficient to achieve a 30% to 40% reduction in [[LDL]]-C levels.. ''(Level of Evidence: A)''
:*Further reduction of non–[[HDL]]-C‡ to less than 100 mg per dL is reasonable, if [[triglycerides]] are greater than or equal to 200 to 499 mg per dL.


:*Therapeutic options to reduce non–HDL-C are:
:'''c.''' If on-treatment [[LDL]]-C is greater than or equal to 100 mg per dL, LDL-lowering drug therapy should be intensified. ''(Level of Evidence: A)''
::*[[Niacin]] can be useful as a therapeutic option to reduce non–[[HDL]]-C (after LDL-C–lowering therapy) or
::*[[Fibrate]] therapy as a therapeutic option can be useful to reduce non–[[HDL]]-C‡ (after LDL-C–lowering therapy).
::*If [[triglycerides]] are greater than or equal to 500 mg per dL, therapeutic options to lower the [[triglycerides]] to reduce the risk of [[pancreatitis]] are [[fibrate]] or [[niacin]]; these should be initiated before [[LDL]]-C lowering therapy. The goal is to achieve non–HDL-C‡ less than 130 mg per dL if possible.


*'''Other recommended strategies for lipid lowering and diet management''' are:
:'''d.''' If [[triglycerides]] are 200 to 499 mg per dL, non–[[HDL]]-C‡ should be less than 130 mg per dL. ''(Level of Evidence: B)''
:*Reduced intake of saturated fats (to less than 7% of total calories), trans-fatty acids, and cholesterol (to less than 200mg per day).
:*Adding plant stanol/sterols (2g per day) and/or viscous fiber (greater than 10 g per day) is reasonable to further lower LDL-C.
:*Encouraging consumption of omega-3 fatty acids in the form of fish or in capsule form (1g per day) for risk reduction.
:*Daily physical activity and weight management are recommended for all patients.
:*Moderation of alcohol consumption.
:*Limited sodium intake.

Lipid Management

ACC / AHA Guidelines for cardiovascular risk factor reduction- Lipid management (DO NOT EDIT) [1][2][3]

Class I

1. Dietary therapy for all patients should include reduced intake of saturated fats (to less than 7% of total calories), transfatty acids, and cholesterol (to less than 200 mg per day). (Level of Evidence: B)

2. Recommended lipid management includes assessment of a fasting lipid profile: (Level of Evidence: A)

a. LDL-C should be less than 100 mg per dL. (Level of Evidence: A)
b. If baseline LDL-C is greater than or equal to 100 mg per dL, LDL-lowering drug therapy should be initiated in addition to therapeutic lifestyle changes. When LDL lowering medications are used in high-risk or moderately high-risk persons, it is recommended that intensity of therapy be sufficient to achieve a 30% to 40% reduction in LDL-C levels.. (Level of Evidence: A)
c. If on-treatment LDL-C is greater than or equal to 100 mg per dL, LDL-lowering drug therapy should be intensified. (Level of Evidence: A)
d. If triglycerides are 200 to 499 mg per dL, non–HDL-C‡ should be less than 130 mg per dL. (Level of Evidence: B)
e. If triglycerides are greater than or equal to 500 mg per dL, therapeutic options to lower the triglycerides to reduce the risk of pancreatitis are fibrate or niacin; these should be initiated before LDL-C lowering therapy. The goal is to achieve non–HDL-C‡ less than 130 mg per dL if possible. (Level of Evidence: C)

3. Drug combinations are beneficial for patients on lipid lowering therapy who are unable to achieve LDL-C less than 100 mg per dL. (Level of Evidence: C)

Class IIa

1. Dietary therapy with the addition of plant stanol/sterols (2 g per day) and/or viscous fiber (greater than 10 g per day) is reasonable to further lower LDL-C. (Level of Evidence: A)

2. Recommended lipid management includes assessment of a fasting lipid profile: (Level of Evidence: A)

a. Reduction of LDL-C to less than 70 mg per dL or high-dose statin therapy is reasonable. (Level of Evidence: A)
b. If baseline LDL-C is 70 to 100 mg per dL, it is reasonable to treat LDL-C to less than 70 mg per dL. (Level of Evidence: B)
c. Further reduction of non–HDL-C‡ to less than 100 mg per dL is reasonable, if triglycerides are greater than or equal to 200 to 499 mg per dL. (Level of Evidence: B)
d. Therapeutic options to reduce non–HDL-C are: (Level of Evidence: B)
i. Niacin can be useful as a therapeutic option to reduce non–HDL-C (after LDL-C–lowering therapy)§ or, (Level of Evidence: B)
ii. Fibrate therapy as a therapeutic option can be useful to reduce non–HDL-C‡ (after LDL-C–lowering therapy). (Level of Evidence: B)

3. The following lipid management strategies can be beneficial: [4] (Level of Evidence: C)

a. If LDL-C less than 70 mg per dL is the chosen target, consider drug titration to achieve this level to minimize side effects and cost.
b. When LDL-C less than 70 mg per dL is not achievable because of high baseline LDL-C levels, it generally is possible to achieve reductions of greater than 50% in LDL-C levels by either statins or LDL-C–lowering drug combinations.

Class IIb

1. For all patients, encouraging consumption of omega-3 fatty acids in the form of fish* or in capsule form (1 g per day) for risk reduction may be reasonable. For treatment of elevated triglycerides, higher doses are usually necessary for risk reduction. (Level of Evidence: B)
