  1. Treatment of Lipid Disorders Ulrich K. Schubart AECOM/JMC

  2. Prevention, slowed progression, or regression of atherosclerotic lesions • Stabilization of atherosclerotic lesions - Especially non-obstructive , vulnerable plaques • Reduction in inflammatory stimuli - Lipoproteins and modified lipoproteins Proposed Mechanisms of Event Reduction by Lipid Lowering Therapy • Improved endothelium dependent vasodilation • Reduced thrombotic and increased fibrinolytic potential adapted from Libby P. Circulation1995; 91:2844-2850

  3. % Reductions in CV Events depends upon: • Percent cholesterol (and LDL) lowering • Absolute Level of Baseline cholesterol • Duration of cholesterol lowering • Presence of other lipid abnormalities

  4. Dietary Therapy for Elevated Blood Cholesterol Nutrient* Recommended intake Step I Diet Step II Diet <10% oftotal calories < 300 mg/day < 7% oftotal calories < 200 mg/day Total fat Saturated fatty acids Carbohydrates Protein Cholesterol Total calories £ 30% of total calories ³ 55% of total calories ~ 15% of total calories To achieve and maintaindesirable weight * Calories from alcohol not included. Expert Panel on Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Cholesterol in Adults. JAMA. 1993;269:3015-3023.

  5. Drugs to lower LDL Cholesterol % LDL Reduction • Statins (HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors) 25-55% • Bile Acid Resins 15-30% • Cholesterol Absorption Inhibitors 15-20% • Niacin 15-25% • Combinations>60% • Estrogen 10-15%

  6. Synergistic effects of diet and drug therapy • Dietary therapy reduces LDL cholesterol • by 7-10% • This is the equivalent of doubling the • daily dose of a statin • Therefore, successful dietary therapy • reduces drug therapy by over 50%

  7. Common Final Mechanism of Statin/BAR/CAI reduction in LDL-C apo B-100 apo E VLDL VLDL PRODUCTION LIPOLYSIS apo C SHUNT PATHWAY CE Liver VLDL Remnant + LDL CLEARANCE CONVERSION Other sites LDL

  8. Generic Trade Dose % LDL Cost Atorvastatin Lipitor 10-80 mg 37-55 Simvastatin Zocor 5-80 mg 24-51% Formulary Lovastatin Mevacor 10-80 mg 19-40% Dependent Pravastatin Pravachol 10-40 mg 20-30% Fluvastatin Lescol 20-80 mg 15-25% Currently Available HMG CoA Reductase Inhibitors Resuvastatin Crestor 10-40 mg 46-55%

  9. Side Effects of HMG CoA Reductase Inhibitors • Myopathy (0.1%) • Abnormal Liver Function Tests (1-2%) • Gastrointestinal Distress and Diarrhea • CNS – Insomnia • Diabetes

  10. Precipitating Factors: • Liver Disease • Multisystem Disease • Drugs: • - Cyclosporin; tacrolimus • - Fibrates • - Erythromycin • - Itraconazole, ketoconazole • - Mibefradil (Posicor) • - ? Protease inhibitors Statins and Myopathy

  11. Statins and Myopathy Check CK prior to initiating statin therapy

  12. Significant Inhibitors of CYP3A4:Potential for interaction with statins clarithromycin* erythromycin* metronidazole Antibiotics ketoconazole* itraconazole** miconazole Antifungals indinivir ritonavir nelfinivir Protease Inhibitors mibefradil** CCB’s cyclosporin A* Immunosuppressant cimetidine H2 Blockers fluoxetine fluvoxamine Antidepressants grapefruit grapefruit juice Food

  13. HypertriglyceridemiaTreatment • Hypocaloric, low fat (10-20%), alcohol restricted diet. Avoid saturates, simple Carbs. Exercise and weight loss. • In DM: Optimize glycemic control • Consider metformin or thiazolidenedione for IGT/insulin resistance • Assess meds: oral estrogens/OCPs, steroids, Retin A, thiazides or B blockers • Drugs: 1 : Fibrates or Niacin (unless DM) 2 : High dose statins, Fish Oils

  14. Hypertriglyceridemia Drug Therapy: High Risk Patients R/O Secondary Hyperlipidemia Diet/Lifestyle Modification <800 mg/dl Triglycerides > 1,000 mg/dl Treat to prevent/ reverse ASCVD Treat to prevent pancreatitis

  15. TG £ 200 Useful Combinations: Statins+Resins/Ezitamibe Hypercholesterolemia: Statins/Ezit+Niacin, or Mixed HLD: Statins/Ezit+ Fibrates* HypertriglyceridemiaDrug Therapy - High Risk CAD TG 200-400 TG ³ 400 Statin Statin Combined Drug Therapy Resin Niacin Consider High Niacin Gemfibrozil Dose Statins

  16. HypertriglyceridemiaThe bottom line • Triglycerides 150 -1000. Treat to prevent CAD* • Triglycerides > 1000. Treat to prevent • pancreatitis • * If in doubt measure Apo B 100. • Median 100 mg/dl; > 125 mg/dl likely atherogenic

  17. ATP III: Management ofDiabetic Dyslipidemia • Primary target of therapy: identification of LDL-C; goal for persons with diabetes: <100 mg/dL • Therapeutic options: • LDL-C 100–129 mg/dL: increase intensity of TLC; add drug to modify atherogenic dyslipidemia (fibrate or nicotinic acid); intensify risk factor control • LDL-C 130 mg/dL: simultaneously initiate TLC and LDL-C–lowering drugs • TG 200 mg/dL: non–HDL-C* becomes secondary target Note: Diabetic dyslipidemia is essentially atherogenic dyslipidemia in persons with type 2 diabetes.*Non–HDL-C goal is set at 30 mg/dL higher than LDL-C goal. JAMA. 2001;285:2486-2497.

  18. TG 20-50 % HDL-C 10-15 % LDL-C variable Fibric Acid Derivatives • Gemfibrozil (Lopid) 600-1200 mg/day • Clofibrate (Atromid S) 1000-2000 mg/day • Fenofibrate (Tricor) 54-160 ug/ day • Mechanism: Increases clearance of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (Chylos, VLDL, remnants) through downregulation of Apo CIII and increased LPL activity • Effects on Lipids:

  19. Fibric Acid Derivatives - Indications • Severe Hypertriglyceridemia (TG > 1000 mg/dl) • ? Combination therapy for mixed hyperlipidemia or moderate hypertriglyceridemia • Reduces risk of CHD in subjects with High TG /Low HDL-C • May raise homocysteine levels

  20. Fibric Acid Derivatives • Side Effects • Myopathy • Hepatitis (increases in transaminases) • Gallstones, Nausea, Diarrhea • Contraindications • Absolute:Relative: • Gallstones Use with statins • Hepatic Insufficiency Inhibitors of CYP 3A4 • Pregnancy

  21. Niacin - Indications • Mixed hyperlipidemia • Hypertriglyceridemia • Low HDL (hypoalphalipoproteinemia) • Combination therapy for hypercholesterolemia, • mixed hyperlipidemia

  22. Niacin - Mechanism of Action • Inhibition of hormone-sensitive lipase in fat cells • Reduction of VLDL production rates from liver • Activation of LPL and accelerated • TG rich lipoprotein clearance. • Increased clearance of remnants and LDL • Mechanism of HDL-C increase unknown, but may • be related to decreased TG- cholesterol exchange

  23. Niacin - Side effects • Flushing, pruritis - almost universal, harmless • Insulin resistance/ worsened glucose tolerance • Hyperuricemia/ gout • Hepatitis (fulminant hepatic failure with SR niacin) • Dyspepsia, Exaccerbation of IBD • Toxic ambliopia (rare)

  24. Niacin - Contraindications • Active liver disease, alcoholism • Hx of neural tube defect or hyperhomocysteinemia • Gout or active hyperuricemia • Active peptic ulcer disease (caution if prior Hx) • Inflammatory bowel disease • Pregnancy • Poorly controlled diabetes

  25. Niacin - Prescribing Hints • Dose 1.5 - 6 gms/ day divided t.i.d. IR niacin • Max dose 2.0 gm/day SR niacin (and give folate) • Titrate dose up slowly • Benefit on HDL seen at < 1.5 gms/day; • TG effect dose dependent. • Take with meals; pretreat ~1 hour earlier with NSAID • Avoid alcohol (flushing, hepatitis) _

  26. Bile Acid Binding Resins Cholestyramine (Questran) Colestipol (Colestid) Colesevelam (Welchol) • Indicated for treatment of hypercholesterolemia • Proven efficacy to prevent CHD • Safest agent for reducing cholesterol • (except bran foods and garlic) • Ideal for the young, healthy patient

  27. Ge et al Cell Metab 2008

  28. Other Drugs, etc • Estrogen replacement therapy • oral estrogens vs transdermal • selective estrogen receptor modulators (raloxifene) • - risk of TG’s with oral estrogens • Vitamin E (400 - 800 I.U./ day) • Vitamin C 1-2 gm/day • Folic acid (1-2 mg/day), B 2-5 mg/day • Aspirin • ACE inhibitors • LDL apheresis
