  1. Virginia ACP MSFM Session- Lipid Management & CVD Risk Reduction - Q1. What is the evidence that adding asecond pharmacologic agent to statin therapy improves cardiovascular outcomes? 1a. Fibrates for high triglyceride 1b. Niacin for low HDL

  2. Relationship Between LDL-C Levels and CHD Events Data derived from epidemiologic studies and RCTs 3.7 2.9 2.2 1.7 1.3 1.0 0 • • Relative Riskof CHD (log scale) • • “Rule of One” applies when LDL < 100 mg/dl • • 40 70 100 130 160 190 220 LDL-Cholesterol (mg/dl) Circulation 2004;110:227-39

  3. Effects of fibrates on cardiovascular outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis Lancet 2010; 375: 1875-84 • 18 RCTs published between 1971-2010 • Data for 45,058 patients, including 4552 major CHD events and 3880 deaths • Clofibrate (7 RCTs), Bezafibrate (4 RCTs), Gemfibrozil (3RCTs), Fenofibrate (3 RCTs) and Etofibrate (1 RCT)

  4. … The ACCORD-LIPID study is the first (and only) large-scale RCT (as of March 2013) to evaluate the impact of a fibrate/statin combination versus statin monotherapy on major cardiovascular outcomes.

  5. N Engl J Med 2010; 362: 1563 - 74

  6. J. Am Coll Cardiol 2013; 61: 440-46 • 11 RCTs published between 1975-2011 • Data for 9959 patients, 1547 CHD deaths and non-fatal MIs • Niacin (IR, ER) 0.25- 7.5 gm/day

  7. Effect of Niacin Therapy on Major CHD Events J Am Coll Cardiol 2013;61:440-446

  8. …The AIM-HIGH study is the first (and only) large-scale RCT (as of March 2013) to evaluate the impact of a niacin/statin combination versus statin monotherapy on major cardiovascular outcomes.

  9. N Engl J Med 2011; 365: 2255 - 67

  10. Why Have Trials Failed When a Second Agent is Added to a Statin? ACCORD-LIPID • End-of-study LDL-C 80 mg/dl for statin/placebo vs 81 mg/dl for statin/fenofibrate AIM-HIGH • End-of-study LDL-C 68 mg/dl for statin/placebo vs 65 mg/dl for statin/niacin ER

  13. Virginia ACP MSFM Session- Stroke Prevention in AF/AFL - Q2. Given the emergence of several new oral anticoagulants (NOACs), what is the best method to prevent stroke in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation or flutter? 2a. Who should receive OAC therapy? 2b. Which OAC is preferred?

  14. Novel Oral Anticoagulants- FDA approved NOACs - Direct Thrombin Inhibitors - Dibigatran (Pradaxa) October 2010 Factor Xa Inhibitors - Rivaroxaban (Xarelto) November 2011 - Apixaban (Eliquis) December 2012

  15. Stroke Prevention Guidelines- 2012 Updates Triggered by NOACs - • Canadian Cardiovascular Society • American College of Chest Physicians • European Society of Cardiology • American Heart/Stroke Association

  16. 2012 Updated AF Guidelines- What are the common themes? - • Physicians tend to underestimate the benefits of OAC and overestimate risk of bleeding, especially in elderly • Most algorithms place greater weight on the deaths/strokes prevented by OAC and less weight on the major bleeds that are caused • Many patients with a CHADS2 score of 1 (and even some with a score of 0) should be offered OAC therapy

  17. 2012 Updated AF Guidelines- What are the Common Themes? - 4. Use of CHA2DS2-VASc scoring index helps stratify “low” and “intermediate” risk patients (CHADS2 = 0-1) • ASA and ASA/Clopidogrel therapy is inferior to OAC (patients should be informed). • AF Strokes are devastating and the #1 preventable cause of stroke.

  18. Advantages of OAC- Strong Evidence from Warfarin RCTs - • Reduce all-cause mortality (~ 28%) • Reduce risk of stroke (~ 68%) • Reduce non-CNS systemic embolism (20-75%) • Net clinical benefit

  19. Atrial fibrillation, anticoagulation, fall risk, and outcomes in elderly patients Matthew B. Sellers, MD, and L. Kristin Newby, MD, MHS Duke University Health System, Durham, North Carolina American Heart Journal 2011; 161: 241-6 …if the annual stroke rate is ≥ 2%, quality-adjusted life expectancy is greatest for OAC, followed by APT and no therapy, respectively. …analysis show that an elderly patient would have to fall ~ 300 times per year for the risk of bleeding complications from falling to outweigh the benefits for prevention of embolic stroke.
