LDL-c targets dictate statin therapy in 2016
f
statin therapy targets what diseases to prevent
stroke
MI
what pharmacologic agents are recommended for lowering cholesterol 2016
statins only
4 indications for statin
ASCVD (stroke MI UA TIA PVD) -high intensity statin 40-75y w DM (also consider outside this age) -Mod intense high if ASCVD risk ^7.5% ^21 w LDL-c ^190 (often genetic) -high intensity 40-75y w ASCVD risk ^7.5% -mod or high
high intensity statins
Atorvastatin 40-80mg
Rosuvastatin 20-40mg
tf
count risk factors to select cholesterol mgmt plan
f
not anymore 2016
based on calculated ASCVD risk
tf
angina presentation in women is more likely to be atypical
t
95% F MI report prodrome
only 30% report chest discomfort
some characteristics of pain less likely angina
