Major ATP III Risk Factors • Age Male ≥ 45 years Female ≥ 55 years • Family History Male first degree relative < 55 years Female first degree relative < 65 years • HDL-C < 40 mg/dL • Hypertension • Current Smoking
CAD Equivalents • Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) • Diabetes Mellitus • Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm • Carotid Artery Disease (>50% stenosis) • Prior CVA or TIA • Peripheral Arterial Disease • Framingham Score >20% 10 yr Risk
CAD Risk Equivalents? • Chronic Renal Insufficiency • Abnormal Coronary Calcium Scores • Agatston score > 400
Goals for Therapy: 2004 Addendum • NCEP ATP III guidelines for LDL Therapy LDL-C <160 for 1 or less risk factors LDL-C <130 for 2+ risk factors < 100 is a therapeutic option LDL-C <100 for CAD and CAD equivalents <70 is option for very high risk patients • CAD + multiple risk factors, especially diabetes • CAD + severe or poorly controlled risk factor(s) • CAD + metabolic syndrome • Acute coronary syndrome • CAD event despite baseline LDL-C < 100
LDL-C Therapy • Lifestyle Change • Statins • Bile Acid Sequestrants • Ezetimibe • Niacin • Plant Stanols, Sterols, Phytosterols
Residual Risk: Non-HDL-C • ATP III: Non-HDL-C is a secondary target of drug therapy when TG ≥ 200mg/dL • Represents all the triglyceride-rich lipoproteins – considered atherogenic • Non-HDL-C = Total Cholesterol – HDL-C • Valid even if patient is non-fasting • Cost-Effective

Status Expected Availability for Public Review and Comment: Spring 2011 Expected Release Date: Fall 2011
Issues for ATP-IV • Should the goals for LDL-C in primary prevention be lowered? • What to do with CRP – routine use in risk stratification, secondary target? • What about secondary target? • Non-HDL-C, HDL-C, apo B, LDL Particle concentration? • Move from 10-year to lifetime risk?
Jupiter Trial • To test the hypothesis that statin treatment will reduce CV events in patients without baseline CVD with “normal” LDL-C (< 130 mg/dL) and elevated hsCRP (≥ 2.0 mg/L) • The most innovative and potentially important lipid-lowering trial since the 2004 ATP-II Addendum Ridker PM et al. NEJM 2008;359:2195-2207
Jupiter Methods • 17,802 subjects (38% women) • Men ≥ 50 years; women ≥ 60 years • Triglycerides < 500 mg/dL • Randomized to Rosuvastatin 20 mg/day or placebo • Planned 60 month follow-up • Primary outcome was major CV event • Including elective revascularization
Jupiter Results • Study terminated early on 3-30-08 with median follow-up of 1.9 years • Compliance at study termination was 75% • 44% reduction in primary endpoint • 0.77% versus 1.36% per year • 20% reduction in total mortality • 1.00% versus 1.25% per year
JUPITER Questions • Would a lower-cost, generic statin show similar benefit? • Is measurement of hsCRP necessary for risk stratification in primary prevention • Ridker conflict of interest issues • Was the benefit due to LDL-C lowering or hsCRP lowering?
Risk Factors in Jupiter Subjects • Average age = 66 years • Current smokers = 16% • Metabolic syndrome = 41% • Family history of premature CAD = 11% • 25% had fasting glucose > 102 mg/dL • 25% had systolic BP > 145 mmHg

Sources of Residual Risk • Not providing appropriate medical therapy? • Inadequate control of non-lipid risk factors? • Not addressing emerging risk factors? • CRP, Lp(a) • Inadequate control of lipids using LDL target only? • Non-HDL • HDL or apo A-1 • Apo B • LDL particle number • LDL particle size
Secondary Lipid Target • In ATP-III, non-HDL-C was identified as the secondary lipid target • Sum of cholesterol in all atherogenic lipoproteins • LDL-C, Lp(a)-C, VLDL-C, IDL-C • No major trial since publication of ATP-III in 2001 that specifically treated non-HDL-C
Lowering non-HDL-C • Increase the statin dose • Add fibrate • Add niacin • High dose fish oil • Exercise, CHO restriction, weight loss

LDL Particles Cause Atherosclerosis Low Density Lipoprotein particles (LDL) are the causal agents in atherosclerosis.1 The more LDL particles a person has, the higher the risk for plaque buildup that causes heart attacks, regardless of how much cholesterol those particles carry. 1 Fredrickson et al.

CHD Event Associations of NMR LDL Particle Number (LDL-P) versus LDL Cholesterol (LDL-C) Cromwell WC et al: J Clinical Lipidology 2007;1:583-592
Brief CommentsApo B or Non-HDL versus LDL-P • Apo B and non-HDL are likely better predictors of risk than LDL-C in patients with cardiometabolic syndrome • Non-HDL costs nothing extra to measure • Apo B measurement does not require unique, expensive technology
Apo B gives equal weight to each particle: LDL, Lp(a), VLDL, IDL • Not equal atherogenicity • Treatment strategies different for each particle • Non-HDL similarly lumps particle types together Example 1 • TC=200, HDL=50, TG=200, non-HDL=150 Example 2 • TC=170, HDL=20, TG=500, non-HDL=150 • Is risk equivalent for these 2 patients?
