Recommend lifestyle modifications for patients with elevated dyslipidemia 3. Describe the mechanism of action, pharmacologic properties, and side effects of the anti-dyslipidemic drugs 4. Design a patient specific treatment regimen for the management of dyslipidemia Background Cholesterol, triglycerides, and phospholipids are the major lipids that combine with proteins to be transported as complexes of lipid and proteins known as lipoproteins. Lipoproteins carriers : Responsible for transporting cholesterol, TG, and phospholipids throughout the body Vary in characteristics depending on the amount of cholesterol, TG, and apolipoproteins. There are four types of lipoproteins: chylomicrons, VLDL, LDL, and HDL Pharmacotherapy: A Pathophysiologic Approach, 12e 5 Background Cont, Cholesterol: o A lipid molecule that is biosynthesized (primarily in the liver) or obtained through diet o An essential component of animal cell membranes and used in the biosynthesis of steroid hormones and bile acids. Triglycerides o Three fatty acids esterified to a glycerol molecule found in all lipoproteins but primarily chylomicrons and (VLDL); used as an energy source Apolipoproteins: o Are essential components of lipoproteins, responsible for assembly, secretion, and binding to receptors or cell surfaces. They transport lipids from absorption sites to their intended sites.

All rights reserved Background Chylomicrons: transport dietary fat around the body and deliver lipids and TGs to tissues in need. Very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL): is the primary carrier of triglycerides (TG) in the circulation. VLDL transports lipids and TGs to tissues for energy or storage. Intermediate-density lipoproteins (IDL): when VLDL is transported across lipase, which changes the VLDL to. IDL can then be converted to LDL Low-density lipoproteins (LDL): is mainly responsible for transporting cholesterol to body tissues, which is needed for hormone production and cell membrane integrity. High-density lipoproteins (HDL): picks up excess cholesterol and returns it to the liver, with the full HDL containing the cholesterol binding to scavenger receptors.

Apolipoprotein B containing lipoproteins (non-HDL): make up the lipid- delivery pathway. ApoB acts as a ligand for LDL receptors, which allows the delivery of cholesterol into the cells, removing cholesterol from the blood ApoB-containing lipoproteins include: Chylomicron, very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), intermediate-density lipoproteins, lLDLs, and lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] Retention of ApoB-containing lipoproteins in the subendothelial is the primary cause and initiator of atherosclerosis 🡪 “atherogenic lipoproteins” LDL is the dominant form of atherogenic cholesterol (>90%) Pharmacotherapy: A Pathophysiologic Approach, 12e Background Cont, Apolipoprotein A-1 containing lipoproteins (HDL): : does not contain ApoB A key participant in reverse cholesterol transport, which moves cholesterol from peripheral tissues back to the liver ApoA-1 containing lipoproteins include: High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) Non-HDL represents all potentially atherogenic cholesterol and is calculated by subtracting HDL-C from TC Pharmacotherapy: A Pathophysiologic Approach, 12e 14 Pathophysiology Resources Video 292e–2 Plaque instability.

These disorders have an increased risk of premature ASCVD due to significant elevations in cholesterol levels. In homozygous and heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), the primary defect is the inability to bind LDLC to LDLC receptors. This leads to lack of LDLC degradation by cells and unregulated biosynthesis of cholesterol. Pharmacotherapy: A Pathophysiologic Approach, 12e Secondary or Acquired Dyslipidemias Cause Increase LDL-C Increase TG Medications Glucocorticoids, Oral estrogens, amiodarone, diuretics, glucocorticoids, bile acid cyclosporine sequestrants, protease inhibitors, retinoic acid, anabolic steroids, immunosuppressive drugs (cyclosporine, tacrolimus, sirolimus), atypical antipsychotics, tamoxifen, raloxifene, β-blockers, thiazides Dietary influences Saturated or trans fats, Very high-fat diets, high weight gain, anorexia carbohydrate intake (refined), excess alcohol, weight gain Disease states and Nephrotic syndrome, biliary Poorly controlled diabetes, medical conditions obstruction, hypothyroidism, obesity, hypothyroidism, obesity, pregnancy, nephrotic pregnancy syndrome, chronic renal failure, lipodystrophies Clinical presentation & diagnosis o Most patients are asymptomatic for many years o Physical findings None to abdominal pain, pancreatitis (TG > 500), xanthelasma and corneal arcus (LDL > 250 mg/dL) o Laboratory tests ↑ in total cholesterol, LDL, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B, and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), ↓ HDL Pharmacotherapy: A Pathophysiologic Approach, 12e Measurement of cholesterol Initial measurement of the lipid profile: o To assess ASCVD risk and should be done in all adults 20 years and older who are not on lipid therapy (at least every 5 years) o To document baseline cholesterol values LDL-C (Friedewald equation) = (TC) – (TG/5) – (HDL-C) LDL-C (Martin-Hopkins equation) =TC-HDL-C-TG/adjustable factor Non-HDL = (TC) – (HDL-C) Martin-Hopkins equation has demonstrated improved estimation of LDL-C compared to Friedewald equation Pharmacotherapy principles & practice, 6e Measurement of cholesterol Cont, Fasting vs. Non-fasting Measurement o Generally fasting and non-fasting measurements can be used for ASCVD risk assessment o Initial fasting measurement is recommended in individuals with FH of premature ASCVD or genetic hyperlipidemia o If the initial non-fasting profile shows TG > 400 mg/dL, a repeat fasting measurement is recommended o Non-HDL can be assessed accurately irrespectivePharmacotherapy of fastingprinciples state& practice, 6e 25 Treatment Guidelines 26 Desired Outcome ◻ Reduce the risk first or recurrent events such as MI, angina, heart failure, or ischemic stroke or other forms of peripheral arterial disease such as carotid stenosis or abdominal aortic aneurysm Classification of cholesterol & triglyceride levels Total Cholesterol (TC)
