Treatment of Lipid
Disorders

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

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%
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%

Hypertriglyceridemia
Treatment





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

The 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
ATP III: Management of
Diabetic 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.
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:
TG
HDL-C
LDL-C
20-50 %
10-15 %
variable
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
Fibric Acid Derivatives
• Side Effects
Myopathy
Hepatitis (increases in transaminases)
Gallstones, Nausea, Diarrhea
•Contraindications
Absolute:
Gallstones
Hepatic Insufficiency
Pregnancy
Relative:
Use with statins
Inhibitors of CYP 3A4
Niacin - Indications
• Mixed hyperlipidemia
• Hypertriglyceridemia
• Low HDL (hypoalphalipoproteinemia)
• Combination therapy for hypercholesterolemia,
mixed hyperlipidemia
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
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)
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
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)
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

• Estrogen replacement therapy
