Lipid Management

  • Recommended lipid management includes assessment of a fasting lipid profile.
  • Primary goal of lipid management is to achieve a LDL-C level of less than 100 mg/dL.
  • 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.
  • 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:
  • 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:
  • 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.

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

Class I

1. Low-density lipoprotein-lowering therapy in patients with documented or suspected CAD and LDL more than or equal to 130 mg/dL, with a target LDL cholesterol less than or equal to 100 mg per dl. (Level of Evidence: A)

2. If triglycerides are 200 to 499 mg per dL, non–HDL-C‡ should be less than 130 mg per dL. (Level of Evidence: B)

3. 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)

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

Class IIa

1. In patients with documented or suspected CAD and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol 100 to 129 mg/dL, several therapeutic options are available: (Level of Evidence: B)

a. Lifestyle and/or drug therapies to lower LDL to less than 100 mg/dL. (Level of Evidence: B)
b. Weight reduction and increased physical activity in persons with the metabolic syndrome. (Level of Evidence: B)
c. Institution of treatment of other lipid or nonlipid risk factors; consider use of nicotinic acid or fibrate for elevated triglycerides or low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. (Level of Evidence: B)

2. Therapy to lower non-HDL cholesterol in patients with documented or suspected CAD and triglyceride levels greater than 200 mg/dL, with a target non-HDL cholesterol level of less than 130 mg/dL. (Level of Evidence: B)
