Presenter Disclosure Information
In compliance with the accrediting board policies, the American Diabetes Association requires the following disclosure to the participants:
Evan Sisson, PharmD
Disclosed no conflict of interest.
Objectives• Upon completion of this program, the learner should be able to:• Estimate the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD)
for a person with diabetes based on current guidelines.• Discuss the clinical importance of diabetes-specific risk enhancers
for cardiovascular disease.• Design an appropriate treatment plan, including goals of therapy, to
reduce ASCVD risk for a patient with diabetes.• Design an appropriate treatment regimen for patients failing statin
therapy, based on current guidelines.

Risk-Enhancing Factors for Clinician–Patient Risk Discussion: Disease States
Risk-Enhancing Factors
• Family history of premature ASCVD (males, age <55 y; females, age <65 y)
• Primary hypercholesterolemia (LDL-C, 160–189 mg/dL; non–HDL-C 190–219 mg/dL)
• Metabolic syndrome (increased waist circumference, elevated triglycerides [>175 mg/dL], elevated
blood pressure, elevated glucose, and low HDL-C [<40 mg/dL in men; <50 in women mg/dL])
• Chronic kidney disease (eGFR 15–59 mL/min/1.73 m2 with or without albuminuria; not treated with
dialysis or kidney transplantation)
• Chronic inflammatory conditions such as psoriasis, RA, or HIV/AIDS
• History of premature menopause (before age 40 y) and history of pregnancy-associated conditions
that increase later ASCVD risk such as preeclampsia
• High-risk race/ethnicities (e.g., South Asian ancestry)
Risk-Enhancing Factors for Clinician–Patient Risk Discussion: Lipid/Biomarkers
Risk-Enhancing Factors
• Lipid/biomarkers: Associated with increased ASCVD risk
o Primary hypertriglyceridemia, persistently ≥175 mg/dL
o Biomarkers, if measured:
▪ high-sensitivity C-reactive protein ≥2.0 mg/L
▪ Lp(a) ≥50 mg/dL
▪ Elevated apoB ≥130 mg/dL
▪ ABI <0.9

Options for Managing Statin-Associated Myopathy
• Treat underlying problem, if known– Hypothyroidism, vitamin D deficiency
• Switch statins– Change from lipophilic to hydrophilic
(eg. simvastatin to pravastatin)
• Alternate dosing strategies– Rosuvastatin every-other-day
• Supplement use– Co-Q10, plant sterols
• Addition of non-statin lipid-lowering therapy– Add ezetimibe, bile acid resin or PCSK-9 inhibitor
Journal of Clinical Lipidology (2014) 8, S58–S71. 41
Diabetes and CVD Elevator Speech• Determine ASCVD Risk • Lipids: Use high intensity statin unless not tolerated
• LDL >70mg/dL→ Add ezetimibe or PCSK-9 if ASCVD• TG: Address secondary cause → Add statin → Intensify
• >1000 mg/dL→ Add fibrates or fish oil• TG >500 mg/dL→ Use high intensity statin or add TG
agent• TG 150-499 mg/dL→ Use moderate or high intensity statin
• Blood Pressure: goal <130/80mmHg for most patients• Aspirin: Reserve for patients with ASCVD or high risk• Tobacco: Use cessation drugs plus counselling
