Q

Define primary hyper lipidemia

A

Genetic predisposed

May inherit defective jeans

abnormalities in LDL receptors/mutations in apolipoproteins lead to increase cholesterol production or decrease clearance of it

What does cholesterol Help with?

A

Makes bi asses digestion,

steroid, hormones cholesterol is the precursor of five major classes of steroid hormones

Q

Apolipoproteins

A

Specialized proteins on the surface of the lipoprotein.

Identify specific receptors, which lipoprotein will bind

They play a role in development or prevention of hyper lipidemia by controlling interaction in metabolism of Lipo proteins

17
Q

Low density lipoprotein

A

Bad cholesterol contains the most cholesterol by way of all the Lipo proteins contain 60 to 75% of total cholesterol

18
Q

What are high density lipoprotein?

A

Good cholesterol functions to remove LDL and TG

19
Q

What is atherosclerosis?

A

Lesions resulting from accumulation of cholesterol and blood vessels.
It affects large arteries and coronary arteries

20
Q

How does atherosclerosis develop?

A

LDL accumulates in the endothelial lining of the intima,

monocytes invade and form macrophages, ingest the LDL and leaves fatty streaks to lesions

Begins in mid teens and lesions grow as people age

Plaque cells grow causing damage to the endothelium this, Lisa platelet aggregation and clot formation

21
Q

What diseases does atherosclerosis cause?

A

Coronary heart disease (myocardial infarction significant myocardial, ischemia history of coronary artery bypass graft history of coronary angioplasty angiographic evidence of lesions)

Peripheral vascular disease (claudication)

Carotid, artery disease (Thrombotic stroke transient, ischemic attack)

22
Q

What are risk factors for hyper lipidemia?

A

Age, gender systolic blood pressure, antihypertensive therapy, use presence of diabetes and smoking

23
Q

When should people assess their risk of hyper lipidemia?

A

Assessment of traditional risk factors in patients age 20 to 39 years without a history of cardiovascular disease every 4-6 years

A full lipid panel, which also contains LDL cholesterol and triglyceride, should be attained fully evaluate a patient’s risk

24
Q

Patience with a 10 year ASCVD risk greater than or equal to 7.5%.

A

Are considered a elevated risk for a future ASCVD event

25
Q

When do guidelines say to start something therapy?

A

Guidelines, do not recommend starting therapy for patients with a 10 year is less than 5%

Guidelines, do not typically recommend aspirin therapy for patients with attend your wrist less than 10%

If less than 5%, they should start with diet and exercise

26
Q

What is a coronary artery calcium scan? CAC

A

It’s a scan that is not invasive procedure that to text after a spootic plaque burden total plaque area ind density

The result of the CAC scan is characterized by the Agatston score

27
Q

What do you do for a patient who is intermediate risk?

A

Intermediate risk is greater than or equal to 7.5% or less than 20%.

If risk estimate plus risk enhancers favor, statin initiate moderate intensity statin to reduce LDL by 30% to 49% class one

If risk decision is uncertain, consider a measuring CAC and selected adults

28
Q

What to do for a patient who is high risk

A

High risk is greater than or equal to 20%. Initiate starting to reduce LDL by greater than or equal to 50%. Class one

29
Q

Who does not get a risk assessment immediately goes on statins

A

LDL equal to or greater than 190 no risk assessment, high intensity, statin

Diabetes and age 40 to 75 moderate intensity statin

Diabetes in age 40 to 75 no risk assessment to consider high intensity statin

Age greater than 75 years old clinical assessment with discussion

30
Q

What groups do not get placed on statins?

A

Less than 5% is low risk emphasize lifestyle to reduce risk factors

5% to less than 7.5% is borderline risk. if risk enhancers presents and risk discussion regarding moderate intensity, statin therapy class 11 be

31
Q

Guidelines on lifestyle management to reduce cardiovascular risk

A

Diet, high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, poultry, fish, legumes, nontropical, vegetable oils, and nuts

Exercise aerobic physical exercise, 3 to 4 times a week with each session. Averaging about 40 minutes.

Weight loss

Moderation of alcohol and take

Smoking sensation

32
Q

What are the goals of statin therapy for high intensity?

A

LDL reduction of > or equal to 50%

33
Q

What are the goals for somebody on moderate intensity statin

A

LDL reduction of less than 30-49%

34
Q

When is decreasing a statin does not recommend?

A

For patients who is LDL decreases to less than 40%

35
Q

How often do you monitor after starting a statin?

A

Monitor every 3 to 12 months for continued assessment

36
Q

What are statin side effects?

A

Muscle related
Pain, tenderness, weakness, fatigue

37
Q

What do you do if a statin has mild muscle pain

A

Stop the satin for A week and see if it resolves, then restart at a lower dose

38
Q

What to do for statin side effects if severe

A

If severe stop satin and check CKCM creatinine in urine analysis to be evaluated for rhabdo myelosis a severe condition that can cause needs to shut down

Try a different statin for mild

39
Q

What StATIN does secondary prevention existing clinical ACSVD

A

Emphasize healthy lifestyle
High intensity, statin use moderate intensity, statin if her intensity is not tolerated

40
Q

What statin does severe hyper lipidemia get for 20 to 75 years old, LDL greater than or equal to 190

A

Emphasize healthy lifestyle

Risk assessment not needed

High intensity, statin use moderate intensity, statin if I touch you got tolerated

41
Q

What Staten does adults with diabetes 40 to 75 years old

A

Emphasize healthy lifestyle

Risk assessment not required

Moderate intensity, statin, consider high intensity, statin, if multiple respecters exist

42
Q

What satin does adults for diabetes age 40 to 75 LDL less than 190

A

Emphasize healthy lifestyle

Risk assessment using race and age, specific PC eat estimate tenure risk

Intermediate risk 7.5-<20 ,gets moderate intensity, statin

High risk greater than or equal to 20% gets high intensity, statin use moderate intensity, statin Pietanza’s not tolerating
