Presentation Transcript

  1. Lipid and Hypertension Guideline Review Robert Ferrante

  2. Objectives • Review new guidelines and recommendations proposed by the Joint National Commission (JNC) and the American College of Cardiology / American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) for lipid and blood pressure. • Compare newest guidelines to prior versions. • Explain the relevancy of these new guideline to current pharmacy practice • Discuss the controversies presented by new recommendations

  3. Cholesterol Background:Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) • Low-Density Lipoprotein • Below 100 mg/dL is ideal. • Between 130-159 mg/dL is borderline-high • Above 190 mg/dL is very high • High Density Lipoprotein • Above 60 mg/dL is ideal. • Below 40 mg/dL is low www.healthytimesblog.com

  4. ATP III Risk Factors • Cigarettes • Hypertension (>140/90) or DM • Low HDL • Family history of CHD (Male <55, Female <65) • Age (M ≥ 45 : F ≥ 55) • Framingham Risk Score

  5. ATP III Goals • Different goals depending upon risk category • 0-1 risk factors • Goal below 160 mg/dL • Treat if above 190 mg/dL • 2+ risk factors • LDL below 130 mg/dL • Treat above 130 mg/dL or 160 mg/dL based on 10 yr risk • Coronary heart disease (CHD) OR 10 year CHD risk >20% • LDL below 100 mg/dL • Drug therapy if 130 mg/dL or greater

  6. Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes • Saturated fat <7% of calories • <200 mg/day of cholesterol • Fiber increase to 10-25 mg/day • Weight management • Increased physical activity

  7. ATP III Treatments

  8. ATP III Take-Home Points • Goals and categories based on risk factors • Goals are number based • No specific outline for treatment • Wide spectrum of possible treatments

  9. 2013 ACC/AHA Blood Cholesterol Guidelines • Based upon: • Past history of heart disease • LDL levels • Greater than or equal to 190 mg/dL • The presence of diabetes mellitus (DM) • Type 1 or 2 DM and aged 40-75 • 10 year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk calculator. • Greater than 7.5% estimated 10 year risk of ASCVD

  10. 10 year ASCVD Calculator • Can calculate 40-79 year olds 10 year risk. • Factors include • Sex • Race • Age • Treatment for blood pressure • Cholesterol levels • Smoking • Diabetes

  11. Statin Intensity

  12. Statin Monitoring • Baseline lipid panel • Follow up 4-12 weeks after initiation • Ever 3-12 months afterwards • Baseline liver functioning tests

  13. Take Home Points • Cholesterol-lowering medications, especially statins, reduce risk for CV events • Statins are effective in majority of patient groups. • Non-statins show little to no CV benefit. • Patients at higher baseline risk, will have great absolute benefit from therapy • Diabetes diagnosis is proportional to therapy intensity.

  14. JNC 8 • Reduce cardiovascular events through pharmacologic control of blood pressure • Major considerations: • Age (60 years old) • Race • Diabetes • Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=appinventor.ai_AHSCBC.HypertensionTreatment

  15. Algorithm

  16. Lifestyle Modifications • Weight loss 22 lbs = 5-20 mmHg • DASH/healthy diet = 8-14 mmHg • Limit salt = 2-8 mmHg • Exercise = 8-14 mmHg • Limit alcohol = 2-4 mmHg • Stop Smoking • Sleep

  17. Dosing

  18. Major Changes • Not included: beta-blockers, alpha-blockers, loop diuretics, alpha 1/beta-blockers, central alpha2/adrenergic agonists, direct vasodilators, or aldosterone antagonists. • What about patients already on these therapies with controlled HTN?

  19. Conclusion • Although new guidelines continue to encourage lowering of LDL and BP, seemingly small changes may have a massive impact on public perception of their healthcare. • Both guidelines include lifestyle modifications as primary treatment. • It is important to exercise professional judgment before blindly adhering to guidelines.
