Is This the Best We Can Do? 10 Years Later
Treatment Goals • in CAD Patients • Identify and Treat • Unstable Life-Threatening • Coronary Lesions • Antithrombotic Rx • Prevent Ventricular • Dilation with ACE Rx • Lower LDL • the More the Better • After Lifestyle • smoking • obesity
Factors affecting therapy of hyperlipidemia Modifiable risk factors Hypertension Cigarette smoking Diabetes mellitus Obesity Alcohol intake Other factors Family history of coronary heart disease or peripheral vascular disease Personal history of early onset coronary heart disease Male sex Dietary, Exercise & Lifestyle Modifications
Passive smoking The incidence of heart disease among women with smoking husbands was 14.9 times higher than that of women with non smoking husbands.
Nutritional Management of Hypercholesterolemia
Obesity • Not an independent factor • Strong association with other • risk factors: • increased blood pressure • diabetes • hypercholesterolemia
Body weight deserves a deliberate attention in any effort to reduce cardiovascular risk.
Relation of Body Mass Index, (BMI) to Relative Mortality Risk
Body Weight • Restoration of normal body weight is most • important. • Several studies have shown that decreasing body • weight decreases the plasma lipids regardless of • the design of the diet: • decreases LDL Chol • decreases TG • Increases HDL Chol
Dietary Fats and Cholesterol AHA Recommendations
CCCC recommendations: • Intervention by dietary modification plus exercise • Goals for dietary intervention: • Dietary component% of caloric intake • fat < 30% • saturated fatty acids < 10% • polyunsaturates < 10% • protein 10-15% • In Addition: • <30% fat; alcohol, sugar, sodium restrictions • Balance: carbohydrates, esp polysaccharides, and fibre • sources • Physical activity for CV fitness • For children, adjust for healthy weight
Strategies • Most families have 10-15 recipes that • constitute their daily diet • It is often more efficient to modify or • replace individual meals, taking into • account: • preparation time • cost • taste
Cholesterol • Cholesterol intake should be • less than 300 mg per day
Strategies • Reduction of the major and obvious • sources of saturated fatty acid and • cholesterol. • Substitute rather than delete.
FAT • Saturated fat: Increases total Chol and LDL C • Monounsaturated fat: neutral • Polyunsaturated fat: decreases total Chol • and LDL C • Subtracting a certain amount of • saturated fat has the same effect as • adding twice that amount of • polyunsaturated fat. • Animal and vegetable fats do not make • a complete distinction: • butter, coconut oil: Increase Chol • corn oil, whale oil: decrease Chol
Replace fat in the diet by carbohydrate. • Carbohydrate has less calories than fat. • Increase fiber gradually
Increase fish intake to two to three • 90 g servings per week. • Avoid fish oil supplements.
Maximum Potential of Dietary Changes to Reduce Serum Cholesterol Average effect of dietary changes: 1.1 – 1.4 mmol/L decrease in serum cholesterol level
Dietary Modification Hepatic over production is a major cause of increased plasma lipids Reduce excess dietary fat & excess caloric load & this will reduce hepatic production & reduce obesity hypertension diabetes Chylomicron Intestine LPL VLDL Liver Remnant LPL HDL3 Remnant (IDL) LCAT HPL HPL HDL2 LDL
Diet modification remains a principal therapy for people with elevated blood lipid levels.
Lipid-lowering agents • HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors: Inhibit hepatic cholesterol production • Bile acid resins: Bind cholesterol in gut • Fibric acid derivatives: ↑ cholesterol excretion in bile • Probucol: ↑ LDL-C breakdown and may inhibit LDL-C oxidation • Nicotinic acid: ↓ production of VLDL-C

HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors • Contraindications • Active liver disease • Pregnancy and lactation • Hypersensitivity • Relative Contraindications • Childhood • Concurrent use of cyclosporine, erythromycin, (fibrates, niacin) • Side effects • ↑ Serum transaminases • ↑ CK • Myopathies • Abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation • Headaches
Primary Prevention Trials • Trials of Diet • LA Veterans Study • Oslo Primary Prevention Study • Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial (MRFIT) • Trials of Drugs • WHO Cooperative Trial of Clofibrate • Lipid Research Clinics • Coronary Primary Prevention Trial (LRC-CPPT) • Helsinki Heart Study

Conclusions from Primary Prevention Studies • Elevated blood cholesterol is a major risk factor for CHD • Primary preventative measures can greatly reduce CHD risk • A 1% reduction of blood cholesterol reduces CHD risk by 2%
