7 and 10 Lipid Disorders and Case review Flashcards
2 yo with severe abdominal pain and rash, draw blood and and overnight in fridge seperates out to blood and fat. Why
Hyperchylomicronemia
Rare disease of childhood or seen in Type V adults
Genetically absent or redueced LPL or apoC2 or apoC3
Hyperchylomicronemia
What do we expect to see for TG in hyperchylomicronemia
TG from 2000 to 25000
Function of chylomicrons
carry mostly TG from gut to liver
Long term tx for hyperchylomicronemia
near total fat restriction and use of medium chain fatty acids to bypass more common long chain FAs
What happens microscopically during atherosclerosis
LDL crosses into endothelium into the intima
Monocytes phagocytize cholesterol
Cholesterol gets oxidixed
Vascular adhesion and metalloporoteinases activated to remodel the artrial wall
SMS migraiton
foam cell formation
Pt history: nonsmoking, asymptomatc female athlete, had high cholesterol since college, father had heart stents placed in mid 50s but didn't have a heart attack BP: 118/72 and BMI of 23 TC; 305 TG:55 HDL:85 LDL:209 Whats her risk for ASCVD?
Increased and we need to start tx today
Pt history: nonsmoking, asymptomatc female athlete, had high cholesterol since college, father had heart stents placed in mid 50s but didn't have a heart attack BP: 118/72 and BMI of 23 TC; 305 TG:55 HDL:85 LDL:209 DX?
Type IIA Familial Hypercholesterimia
Whats the metabolic issue with Type IIA Familial HYpercholesterimia?
LDL-R is defective, won’t remove cholesterol form circulation
–mutation in LDL-R, ApoB or PSCK9 GOF mutation
Tx recommendation for Type IIA Hypercholesterimia
High dose high intensity statins to decrease intracellular cholesterol, activate nuclear receptors and upregulate production of LDL-R
Pt goes undiagnosed with Type IIA Familial Hypercholesterimia until age 42. Comes in with chest pain, dyspnea on exertion: Dx?
Myocardial infarction (heart issues) see on EKG and enZ that pt had an infarct...recommend emergency angiogram and place stents
What tx do you recommend to a pt that has children and is diagnosed with Type IIA familial hypercholesterimia
Have kids on heart healthy diet and exercise as well as have lipids checked and tx if elevated (if over 12 years)
Pt Hx
45yo male smokes 1ppd
BP: 135/85 BMI:32 Waist:39 FBS:94
Exercise; none and has 2-4 beers a day
TC is 210 TG:165 HDL:40 LDL:137 nonHDL:170
What is he most at risk for?
Atherosclerotic heart disease
smoking causes more heart disease then cancer
What is the leading cause of disease and death
ASCVD
ASCVD stands for what diseases?
Aterosclerotic CV Disease
Heart attacks + STrokes + Peripheral Arthery Disease
CAD stands for
Coronary Atheroscloerotic Disease
Whats the biggest RISK of MI
LDL:HLD (then diabetes, smoking, HTN..)
Lifestyle can make a ____ differenct from lowest to highestl quintile in lifetime ASCD risk
10 fold
What are Heart healthful meausures for
BMI
BP
FBS
BMI <100
LDL-C >100
HDL <40
risk for ASCVD
TRIG 200-499 risk for
>1000 at risk for
CAD
risk for pancreatitis
Normal vs Optimal for: HDL LDL TC TG
Normal HDL: M>40 and F>50~ same for optimal
Normal LDL: <75
Which types of lipid disorders are predominantely genetic with minimal lifestyle influence?
Type I and IIA
Which lipid disorders are dormand until lifestyle (diabesity) or other disease (diabetes) unmask them
Type IIB, III, IV, and V
What lipoprotein is in excess in Type I severe hypertriglylceridemia?
Excess chylomicron bc we can’t off load TG they pick up in enterocyte d/t LPL or apoC2/C3 defect
What defect do we see in Type I hyperTG?
LPL or apoC2/C3
