DISEASE STATE PRESENTATION
OBJECTIVE
• Define dsylipidemia with its risk factors, prevalence and pathophysiology
• Describe the elements of diagnosis and the various non- pharmacological and pharmacological treatment options
• Compare and contrast primary literature based on guideline recommendation
• Discuss the clinical pearls and pharmacists role in managing patients with dyslipidemia
KEY TO ABBREVIATIONS
Total Cholesterol (TC)
Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL)
High Density Lipoproteins (HDL)
Very Low Density Lipoproteins (VLDL)
Triglycerides (TG)
DEFINITION• Abnormalities of plasma lipoproteins in our body
responsible for transporting major lipids:
• LDL • HDL• Chylomicrons (TG)• VLDL
• Elevation of TC ,LDL,TG, and low HDL or in some combination
• Result in a predisposition to arterial diseases such as:
• Coronary • Cerebrovascular• Peripheral Vascular
CLASSIFICATION
• Phenotype caterogy: I; Ila; IIb; III; IV; V
• Clinically:
• Isolated hypercholesterolemia: mostly due to LDL elevation
• Mixed or combined dyslipidemia: elevations of TC or LDL, and TG
• Isolated hypertriglyceridemia: elevation in TG only
• Low HDL-cholesterol: either isolated or in association with hypercholesterolemia or hypertriglyceridemia
PREVALENCE• Direct relationship between LDL levels and new onset of
CHD and recurrent coronary invents:
• Framingham Heart Study• Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial (MRFIT)• Lipid Research Clinics (LRC) trial
• About 46.8% American adults over age 20 are at borderline high risk with TC >200mg/dL
• More than half are unaware• Only one-third are receiving treatment• Less than 20% have achieved their LDL goal
PREVALENCE
• Major risk factor for mortality:
• Coronary Heart Disease (70%deaths) • Ischemic heart disease (50% deaths) • Preexisting CHD or prior MI (5-7 times increased risk)
• Leading cause of death for both men and women of all races and ethnicities
• Incidence is higher in industrialized countries• LDL is a significant predictor of mortality and mobidity• Strong correlation between BMI and incidence of
hypercholesterolemia
ETIOLOGY• Primary
• Single or multiple gene mutations• Children and young adults• Small percentages
• Secondary
• Most adults cases• Sedentary lifestyle• Certain disease states• Alcohol dependence• Certain medication use
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Atherosclerosis begins with injury to the endothelial cells that line the artery walls
• LDL enters intima through intact endothelium (influx > eliminating capacity and formation of LDL extracellular pool)
• Intimal LDL is oxidized into pro-inflammatory lipids• Oxidized LDL causes adhesion and entry of monocytes
and T lymphocytes across endothelium• Monocytes differentiate into macrophages and then
consume large amounts of LDL, transforming into foam cells
• Foam cells release growth factors (cytokines) that encourage atherosclerosis
RISK FACTORS• Additive effects to developing CV disease with:
• Diabetes• Hypothyroidism• Excess body weight (BMI >25 kg/m2)• Cholestatic liver disease• Cigarette smoking• Low HDL• Hypertension• Electrocardiogram abnormalities• Hyperhomocystinemia• Autoimmune phenomena• Nephrotic syndrome• Use of certain medication
COMPLICATIONS
• Myocardial Infaction
• Ischemic cardiomyopathy
• Sudden death
• Stroke
• Erectile dysfunction
• Peripheral vascular disease
• Acute limb ischemia
TESTS
Lipid Profile
• Total cholesterol (TC) >200 mg/dL;• LDL-cholesterol >100 mg/dL; • Non-HDL-cholesterol >130 mg/dL; • HDL-cholesterol <40 mg/dL for men; <50 mg/dL
for women• Triglycerides >150 mg/dL
TSH levels
• 0.3 - 3.04 mIU/L

TREATMENT APPROACH
NON-PHARMACOLOGICAL TREATMENT
• Dietary reduction total and saturated fat
• Weight loss in overweight patients
• Aerobic exercise
• Addition of plant stanols/sterols to the diet
• Dietary Recommendation:• Total fat intake 25% and 35% • Saturated fat <7% • Trans fat intake <1% of total daily calories• Cholesterol intake from food <300 mg/day• Increasing fish oil intake w/ omega-3 fatty acids
may help lower TG levels

NEW CONTROVERSIAL STUDY • Use of Omega 3 fatty acid for hypertriglyceridemia due to increased risk
of prostate cancer
• Title: • Plasma Phospholipid Fatty Acids and Prostate Cancer Risk in the SELECT
Trial
• Background: • Based on previous study, Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial (PCPT) claims
high concentration of serum phospholipid long-chain ω-3 fatty acids are associated with large increase in the risk of high-grade prostate cancer
• Method: • Case-cohort design nested within SELECT
• Result:• Higher total long-chain ω-3 PUFA were associated with increased risks of
total, low-, and high-grade cancer. Compared with men in the lowest quartile of total long-chain ω-3 PUFA, men in the highest quartile had 44% (95% CI= 8%- 93%), 71% (95% CI= 0%- 194%), and 43% (95% CI= 9%- 88%) increased risk for low-grade, high-grade and total cancer, respectively.
• Conclusion:• This study does not prove fish oil supplementation to increase prostate
cancer risk, however more investigation would be beneficial
CLINIAL PEARLS
• Statins are once-daily dosing, unless otherwise specified.
• Statins in severe renal impairment should be used in caution of doses over 40 mg daily
• Statins if CrCl <30 mL/min should be used in caution of doses over 20 mg daily
• Monitor for drug interactions when using antihyperlipidemia drugs
• Combination therapy for non-therapeutic patients may be beneficial, however, must monitor for side effects
• Lifestyle modification is the best approach to treating dyslipidemia
