Q

CAC (coronary Artery Calcium) score for which pts

A

help detect calcium deposits
For pts with no DM LDL ≥ 70 to 189 mg/dl and ASCVD risk 7.5 - 20
0 none
1–99 minimal to mild
100 - 400 moderate
>400 severe

Q

Non - pharm for hyperlipidemia

A

≥150 each week
200 -300 min each weak for wt loss
Aerobic is best ( other is not as effective)

Diet
DASH, Mediterranean and vegetarian
Supplements
Fiber - reduce just LDL
Red yeast rice (same active as lovastatin) - super variable so need good source

Q

Thirds statins benefits for Diabetes flow chart

A

Usually moderate unless additional risk

25
What are risk enhancers for deciding statin for diabetes
26
Inclisiran AD and indicaiton
FH heterozygous injections site, bronchitis
27
Bempedoic Acid AD
Trial so no place in therapy as of now respiratory tract infection, muscle spasms, hyperuricemia (GOUT), back pain, abdominal pain, elevated LTF
28
How do we increase HDL and do we need to?
Niacin and no just makes the numbers look pretty
29
NIACIN AD
Flushing - most common Hepatotoxicty Decreased uric acid secretion Increase insulin resistance
30
management of hypertroglyceridemia flow chart
31
3 omega-3 fatty acids AD
Fishy breath Increase risk of bleeding GI
32
Dosing of Omega-3 acid ethyl esters
Lovaza - 4g QD
33
Dosing of Icsosapent ethyl
Vascepa 2G bid
34
How do you treat Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia
High intensity statins, PCSK9 inhibitors, Bempedoic Acid
35
How do we treat Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia
Lipoproteins apheresis (removes chole from plasma), Evinacumab, lomitapide, Evolocumab Statins too but minimal benefit
36
what does Familial hypercholesteremia present with
presents with: cutaneous Xanthomas (deposits in hand) Premature CV disease
37
Evinacumab AD
Injection site Nasopharygitis, rhinorrhea, dizzy, Nasea
38
Lomitapide AD
⭐️ BBW for liver toxicity Diarrhea NV abdominal pain Vitamin deficiency
39
What should we consider with pt older that’s 75
Just consider might have to up dose bc more likely to be statin resistant and if on a statin just continue
40
What is the guideline for pregnancy and Hyperlipidemia?
safe to use however had a previous warning Consider if keeping an ASCVD event or familial hyper Consider hydro over lipo if need to use a statin
41
What med can be used without consideration in pregnancy for Hyperlipidemia
BAS
42
CKD and hemodialysis hyperlipidemia guidelines
CKD without hemo = still use primary prevention statin (3rd and 4th group) CKD w/ HEMO = do not initiate
43
Race and ethnicity for statins
44
CrCl doses for which statin meds
Simvastatin 5mg <30 Lovastatin 20mg <30 Pravastatin 10mg if impaired Fluvastatin 40 mg For all of above 30 use 20-80
45
Biomarkers
APO- B ≥ 130 Non-HDL > 190 LP (a) ≥ 50 hsCR - ≥2
46
How long do we fast before ordering a lipid panel
8 hrs
47
What drug should we avoid with Red Yeast rice
lovastatin bc very similar
48
What are the DDI for Simvastatin
SICK FOLKS" S – Similar statins (other statins like atorvastatin, lovastatin) I – Itraconazole (azole antifungals) C – Clarithromycin (macrolide antibiotics) K – Ketoconazole (azole antifungals) F – Fibric acid derivatives (e.g., gemfibrozil, increases risk of muscle issues) O – Omeprazole (proton pump inhibitors, though less common, may increase statin levels) L – Lopinavir (protease inhibitors, e.g., ritonavir, indinavir) K – Ketoconazole (again, highlighting CYP3A4 inhibitors) S – Starvation/low-fat diet (can increase the risk of muscle toxicity)
49
What amount of Sim cant we exceed and with which drugs
10 mg DNE for Verapamil and Diltiazem 20 mg DNE for amiodarone, Amlodipine and Ranolozine
50
Which statins are hydrophilic
Rosuvastatin and Pravastatin
51
Acute/liver disease can i uses statins
no unless they have chronic
52
Should I continue sim 80 if a pt has been on it for a year
yes if stable for a year+ do not change
53
When do we consider non-statin therapy in benefit group 1?
lifestyle first before non-statin but if needed for high risk look for, non-optimal response LDL ≥ 70, can't take max statin, or statin unwilling
54
Goal for LDL for secondary statin group
50% or less than 100
55
When to absolutely avoid BAS
TG > 300
56
Side effects of BAS
Nasty GI effects
57
DDI of BAS and how to avoid
ADEK vitamins Reduces bioavalibitly of warfarin, levothyroxine and phenytoin 1 hr before or 4 hrs after
58
Lomitapide BBW
requires REMS liver toxic and hepatic stenosis
59
