Anti-lipid agents
If baseline LDL-Cholesterol is ≥100 mg/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-Cholesterol levels.
If baseline LDL-C is 70 to 100 mg/dL, it is reasonable to treat LDL-C to <70 mg/dL. If on-treatment LDL-C is ≥100 mg/dL, LDL lowering drug therapy should be intensified.
If Triglycerides are 200-499 mg/dL, the sum of non–HDL-Cholesterol levels should be <130 mg/dL. Moreover this, further reduction of non–HDL Cholesterol to <100 mg/dL is reasonable, if Triglycerides are ≥200 to 499 mg/dL.
Therapeutic options to reduce non–HDL-C are: ’’’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 starting to LDL-C–lowering therapy).
If Triglycerides are ≥500 mg/dL, therapeutic options to lower the Triglycerides to reduce the risk of pancreatitis are fibrate or niacin; these should be initiated before LDL-Choesterol lowering therapy. The goal is to achieve non–HDL-C <130 mg/dL if possible.
If LDL-Cholesterol <70 mg/dL is the chosen target, consider drug titration to achieve this level to minimize side effects and cost of therapy. When LDL-Cholesterol level of <70 mg/dL is not achievable because of high baseline LDL-Cholesterol levels, it is generally possible to achieve reductions of >50% in LDL-Cholesterol levels by either statins or any other LDL-Cholesterol –lowering drug combinations. Treatment with anti lipid drug combinations is beneficial for patients on lipid lowering therapy who are unable to achieve LDL-Cholesterol <100 mg/dL.

Class I1. 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. Daily physical activity and weight management are recommended for all patients. (Level of Evidence: B) 3. Recommended lipid management includes assessment of a fasting lipid profile.
4. 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) 5. Lipid-lowering therapy in patients with documented CAD and LDL-LDL cholesterol greater than 130 mg/dL with a target LDL of less than 100 mg/dL. (Level of Evidence: A) Class IIa1. Adding plant stanol or 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: B) 2. Lipid-lowering therapy in patients with documented CAD and LDL cholesterol 100 to 129 mg/dL, with a target LDL of 100 mg/dL. (Level of Evidence: B) 3. Recommended lipid management includes assessment of a fasting lipid profile.
4. Therapeutic options to reduce non–HDL-C are:
5. The following lipid management strategies can be beneficial:
Class IIb1. 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 TG, higher doses are usually necessary for risk reduction. (Level of Evidence: B) |

Class I1. Statin therapy for all patients with coronary disease. (Level of Evidence: A) Class IIa1. High dose statin therapy in high-risk (more than 2% annual CV mortality) patients with proven coronary disease. (Level of Evidence: B) Class IIb1. Fibrate therapy in patients with low HDL and high triglycerides who have diabetes or the metabolic syndrome. (Level of evidence: B) 2. Fibrate or nicotinic acid as adjunctive therapy to statin in patients with low HDL and high triglycerides at high risk (more than 2% annual CV mortality). (Level of evidence: C) |
