The Impact of Elevated LDL-C and Associated AtherosclerosisAtherosclerosis is caused by a build-up of plaque in arterial walls, obstructing blood flowAtherosclerosis accounts for more than 70% of all deaths from cardiovascular disease in the USElevated LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol increases risk of atherosclerosis and coronary heart diseaseThe risk of coronary heart disease increases by about 2% for each 1% elevation in total cholesterolNational Center for Health Statistics. Health, United States, 2005.http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/hus.htm. Accessed May 17, 2006Kwiterovich PO Jr. Am J Cardiol. 1998,82:3U-17U

Therapeutic lifestyle change is the cornerstone of the management of hyperlipidemia and dyslipidemia? LDL-C with AHA diet: ~ 5%Response variability: familial/geneticHypocaloric diets in overweight & obese
A high fat, low carb diet does not worsen serum lipids/lipoproteins and improves glycemic control in patients with diabetesLDL-C is unchangedHDL-C is unchanged or slightly higherTriglyceride is lower by~25%Variability in response?HbA1c better than with LFHC diet
Dietary NuancesFish: twice/wk; omega-3 fatty acids, 1000 mg/dEliminate/reduce trans FA Plant stanols/sterols reduce LDL-C by ~10%Antioxidant vitamins are not cardioprotective and interfere with effects of niacin on HDL-CHomocysteine: folic acid, vitamins B6 and B12not proven to be cardioprotective.

REVERSAL: 150  79 mg/dlHow low a LDL-C is safe?Newborn LDL-C is 35-50 mg/dl.Patients with hypobetalipoproteinemia  are healthy and have enhanced survival
ATP III Treatment PrioritiesReduce LDL-C to goal (new goals)Correct residual lipid/lipoprotein abnormalities( non-HDL-cholesterol)Address the metabolic syndrome
Utility of the non-HDL-cholesterolTotal minus HDL-CIncludes all atherogenic lipoproteinsLDL-C, Lp(a), IDL, VLDLSurrogate for apoprotein BOptimum; add 30 mg/dl to LDL-C goals

FDA 2007The FDA approved atorvastatin for reducing the risk for nonfatal MI, reducing the risk for fatal and nonfatal strokes, for use in certain types of heart surgery, for reductions in the risk of hospitalization for heart failure, and to reduce chest pain in patients with heart disease. Atorvastatin is the first cholesterol-lowering drug to be approved for reducing the risk of hospitalization for heart failure.
