•Heart disease is the leading cause of death among Indians (Million deaths study by Center for Global Health Research)
•The disease occurs at a much younger age in Indians vs North America and Europe
•There is an urgent need for primary and secondary prevention of this growing
epidemic.

Lipids-Friend or FoeMajor risk factors for heart disease are- • High LDL cholesterol
• Cigarette smoking
• High BP (more than 140/90 or taking medicines for high BP)
• Low HDL cholesterol
• Family h/o premature heart disease
• Age (men >45, women >55)

Lipids- Friend or Foe
Lipid profile consists of-
• Total cholesterol
• LDL (bad or harmful) cholesterol
• HDL (good or protective cholesterol)
• Triglycerides
• Total cholesterol/ HDL ratio
![Page 5: Hinduja Hospital Webinar on Lipids : Friends and Foe](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062702/55496d19b4c9056e598b4f0e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Lipids-Friend or Foe• Start screening for high cholesterol at age 20 yrs
and with a fasting lipid panel
• Primary goal of lipid treatment is LDL
LDL goal based on Risk cateogory LDLgoal
High risk >20 % <100
ModerateRisk 10-20% <130
Low risk(0-1 risk factors) <160

Lipids- Friend or Foe•Risk stratification (10 year risk of CAD)(Risk calculated by using Framingham risk calculator)
Risk cateogory LDL goal Start TLC Start Drug
High risk(CHD/ <100 >100 >130Equivalent)>20%
Moderately high <130 >130 >130(>2 risk factors)10-20%
Moderate risk <130 >130 >160(>2 risk factors)<10%
Low risk(0-1 risk factors) <160 >160 >190

Lipids-Friend or Foe
High Triglycerides
• Increase CV risk
• Causes of high triglycerides
• Drugs thiazide diuretics, estrogens, steroids, beta blockers
• Diabetes
• Obesity
• Kidney disease
• Diet and alcohol induced
![Page 8: Hinduja Hospital Webinar on Lipids : Friends and Foe](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062702/55496d19b4c9056e598b4f0e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Lipids-Friend or Foe HDL cholesterol • 1% decrease HDL increases CVD risk by 2-3%
• Low HDL is associated with small dense LDL particles and with high triglycerides
Causes of low HDL• Obesity, smoking, inactivity, • high carbohydrate diet• Beta blockers, high triglycerides, type 2 DM • Genetics

Other lipid risk factors-
•Lp(a) lipoprotein, small LDL particlesApolipoprotein B, Total cholesterol/HDL
ratio
•ATP III guidelines do NOT recommend measuring, following or treating these factors

Management-
Total lifestyle changes: recommended for all
• Saturated fat intake to be <7% of all total calories• Dietary cholesterol reduced to <200 mg/day• Increase monounsaturated fat intake to 10-15% of total calories• Increase exercise
Other measures-• Add oatmeal (reduces LDL)• Add intake of fiber 10-25 g/day, fruits, legumes

Lipids-Friend or FoePharmacotherapy-
• Statins are the first line of treatment• Statins reduce LDL by 18-55% increase HDL by 5-15% reduce triglycerides by 7-30%• Statins reduce CHD risk in primary and secondary prevention reduce mortality by 20-30% in pts with CAD reduce inflammatory markers such as hsCRP• Statins are contraindicated in pregnancy or if
pregnancy is being planned.

Low HDL cholesterol treatment-
• If low cardiac risk- exercise, weight loss and smoking cessationincrease HDL by 30%
• If high risk (CHD or risk equivalent)-Primary goal is LDL tx with statinif LDL normal/at goal, add fibrate or niacin

Geriatrics Age group 65-80
• Use statin for established CVD
• For primary prevention, check R/B ratio
• Greater risk of s/e, especially myopathy
