Q

When to tx with statin

A

1) for secondary prevention when a pt has already had CVD event - high intensity
2) If LDL is >190
3) if someone is 40-75 and has LDL between 70-189
- diabetic then either high or moderate intensity
- otherwise look at ascvd risk (if above 20 then high intensity, if above 7.5 but below 20 then moderate)

20
Q

bile acid effects on LDL, HDL, TG

A

decrease LDL, increase HDL, increase TG *only one

21
Q

purpose of bile acid

A

ok to use in pregnant person to lower LDL

22
Q

fibrate MOA

A

peroxisome proliferator receptor alpha activators which upregulate apolipoprotein thus increasing apolipoprotein lipase to catabolize TG containing VLDL particles

23
Q

fibrate effects on LDL, TG, HDL

A

Mainly used to decrease TG, generally decreases LDL but when TG very high, increases HDL

24
Q

A

C/I in severe liver disease, gallbladder disease

Warning - increase myopathy with statin

s/e - dyspepsia, increased lft

rhabdo, hepatotoxicity, flusing, gout, itching, vomiting, diarhea, increase BG

28
Q

IR vs ER vs CR niacin

A

not interchangeable, ER least s/e but most expensive, IR causes most flushing, CR causes most hepatotoxicity

29
Q

niacin effects

A

decrease LDL, increase HDL, decrease TG

30
