•Akira Endo and Masao Kuroda of Tokyo, Japan commenced research into inhibitors of HMG CoA reductase in 1971. •This team reasoned that certain microorganism may produce inhibitors of the enzyme to defend themselves against other organism.

•The first agent isolated was Mevastatin ( ML- 236 ). •The pharmaceutical company, Merck & Co showed an interest in the Japanese research in1976, and isolated Lovastatin(mevinolin, MK803), the first commercially marketed statin.

•Dr Endo was awarded the 2006 Japan Prize for his work on the development of statins.

Risk will be higher than calculated in patients with additional conditions such as:

o Diabeteso Evidence of subclinical atherosclerosis (CalciumScore, Carotid Screening)o Familial premature atherosclerotic diseaseo Chronic Kidney Diseaseo Increased Lp (a), AboB/ApoB1 ratio, low HDL-C, high TC

• In patients at very high CV risk : established CVD, type 2 diabetes or type 1 diabetes with target organ damage, moderate to severe CKD or a SCORE level ≥10 % the LDL-C goal is <1.8 mmol/L(<~70 mg/ dL) and/or a ≥ 50 % LDL-C reduction when target level cannot be reached.

• In patients at high CV risk : markedly elevated single risk factors, a SCORE level ≥5 - <10% the LDL-Cgoal <2.5 mmol/L (<~100 mg/dL).

• In patients at moderate risk : SCORE level >1 to ≤5% the LDL-C goal <3.0 mmol/L (<~115 mg/dL).

If drug treatment is indicated to decrease LDL-C, a statin is recommended, up to the highest tolerable dose, to reach

the target level.

2013 ACC/AHA Guideline on the Treatment of Blood Cholesterol to Reduce Atherosclerotic

Cardiovascular Risk in Adults November 12, 2013

Circulation,published online November 12, 2013

First new guidelines since ATP III guideline update in 2004

The most important statements or changes presented in these guidelines

• No longer have therapeutic targets• New risk calculator• Use medications proven to reduce risk, ie statins• Avoid medications or supplements that may lower the

cholesterol number, but have no data to decrease CV risk

Overview of the Expert Panel’s guideline

Page 19: THE POSITION OF STATINS IN THE NEW GUIDELINE Suroto Dept of Neurology, Fac of Medicine, Sebelas Maret University

What has changed compared to ATP-III guideline?

Initiate either moderate-intensity or high-intensity statin therapy for patients who fall into the four categories

Unlike ATP-III, Do not titrate to a specific LDL cholesterol target

Measure lipids during follow-ups to assess adherence to treatment, not to achieve a specific LDL target

STATIN Safety recommendations (1)

Select the appropriate dose If high or moderate intensity statin not tolerated, use

the maximum tolerated dose instead Conditions that could predispose patients to statin side

effect:• Impaired renal or hepatic function• History of previous statin intolerance or muscle disorder• Age >75• Unexplained ALT elevation > 3x ULN• History of hemorrhagic stroke• Asian ancestry

Page 26: THE POSITION OF STATINS IN THE NEW GUIDELINE Suroto Dept of Neurology, Fac of Medicine, Sebelas Maret University

STATIN Safety recommendations (2)

Check baseline ALT prior initiating the statin (Grade B)

Check LFTs if patient develops Symptoms of hepatic dysfunction (Grade E)

If 2 consecutive LDL <40, Consider decreasing the statin dose (Grade C, weak recommendation)

It may be harmful to initiate simvastatin 80mg, or increase the dose of simvastatin to 80mg (Grade B)

ASCVD : AtheroSclerotic CardioVascular Disease RCT : Randomized Control Trial

The statins (or HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors) form a class of Hypolipidemic drugs used to lower cholesterol levels in people with or at risk of Cardiovascular disease.

Based on clinical trials (RCT), the National Cholesterol Education Program / Adult Treatment Panel (NCEP-ATP) had developed guidelines, focus on aggressively lowering LDL-cholesterol.

The statins continue to play an important role in both the primary and secondary prevention of ASCVD.

End of 2013 the ACC and AHA , collaborate with the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) develop new clinical practice guidelines for assessment of CV risk, lifestyle modifications to reduce CV risk, and management of blood cholesterol.

This guideline focuses on treatments to reduce ASCVD events.
