27
Q

When to use statin for primary CV prevention

A

29
Q

statin use for 2’ prevention

A

31
Q

intolerant to statin therapy in 2’ prevention:

-bempedoic acid therapy
-PCSK9 therapy w inslisinan siRNA

32
Q

more generally, recommendation for DM pt 40-75

A

-primary prevention: moderate to high intensity statin
-secondary prevention: high intensity statin and goal LDL < 70 (?) (ACC guidelines prob not updated)

33
Q

High intensity statin recs

A

41
Q

Use of antiplatelet agents (2’ prevention)

-

-more aggressive therapy for newly diagnosed, no severe hypoglycemia, no CVD

-caution for severe hypoglycemia, CVD, advanced disease
