Objectives
At
the
end
of
this
presentation,
the
participant
will
be
able
to:
Identify patients not at LDL-C goal despite current treatment
and discuss why they would benefit from further LDL-C
reduction
Appraise clinical data and new treatment strategies to lower
LDL-C in the high risk patient
Discuss clinical management of the high risk patient not at
goal and implementation of new treatment strategies

What is John’s Target and Why Do We
Want to Get Him There ?
The Cholesterol Hypothesis Originated
with Observational Studies
Epidemiologic Data – Serum Cholesterol Levels and CHD
MRFIT trial: age-adjusted CHD death rate and serum cholesterol in 361,662 US
men (aged 35–57 years)
Each 1% Increase in Total
Cholesterol Level is associated with
a 2% Increase in CHD Risk

Hypothesis

LDL-C lowering is associated with

Summary: The LDL Hypothesis
Epidemiologic data indicates a direct relationship
between total cholesterol levels and CV outcomes
Clinical trials to date indicate that decrease in total
cholesterol or LDL-C with statin therapy or other
measures leads to a proportionate decrease in CV
outcomes
The IMPROVE-IT trial has reaffirmed the lipid hypothesis
by demonstrating that non-statin therapy can achieve an
LDL-C decrease that translates into a similar CV risk
reduction as that previously observed with statins
LDL values well below 2.0 appear to confer additional
benefit
