Authors aimed to assess how target values in serum lipid concentrations (LDL- and HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride) can be achieved in patients with a history of acute coronary syndrome during follow up in an outpatient cardiology clinic. Methods: 201 patients with a history of acute coronary syndrome were included and were followed up between January 1 and May 31, 2007.Authors analyzed serum lipid parameters of the patients and the lipid-lowering medications at the time of the first meeting and during follow up lasting two years. Results: During the enrollment visit only 26.4% of the patients had serum LDL cholesterol at target level, whereas high triglycerides and low HDL cholesterol levels were observed in 40.3% and 33.3% of the patients, respectively. Only 22 patients (10.9%) achieved the target levels in all three lipid parameters. Of the 201 patients, 179 patients participated in the follow up, and data obtained from these patients were analyzed. There was a positive trend toward better lipid parameters; 42.5% of the patients reached the desired LDL-cholesterol target value and 17.3% of the patients had HDL-cholesterol and triglycerides target values. Conclusions: These findings are consistent with those published in the literature. Beside the currently used therapeutic options for achieving optimal LDL-cholesterol, efforts should be made to reduce the so-called “residual cardiovascular risk” with the use of a widespread application of combination therapy.

On April 9, 2018, the national advisory board “Improvement of outcomes in patients with recent ACS: the place of PCSK9 inhibitors” was held in Moscow. Leading Russian experts in the field of atherosclerosis and lipid-lowering treatment attended the board. The purpose of the Board was to determine the place of PCSK9 inhibitors in the improvement of outcomes in patients with recent (less than 1 year) acute coronary syndrome (ACS). During the Board, three major aspects of lipid-lowering treatment were discussed: 1) issues in reaching the target levels of LDL cholesterol in real clinical practice among patients with recent ACS; 2) the results of ODYSSEY OUTCOMES study and their role in the improvement of outcomes in patients with recent ACS; 3) treatment with PCSK9 inhibitors in the management of patients with recent (less than 1 year) ACS in everyday clinical practice, the role of lipid centers.

PURPOSE: Patients suffering from an acute coronary syndrome are at very high risk for recurrent events. Early targeted pharmacological intervention primarily aimed at controlling plasma LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels can result in the reduction of recurrent cardiovascular events. This study aimed to evaluate real-life evidence from the Italian setting to document current practice of secondary prevention in patients after acute coronary syndrome (ACS), specifically assessing: (i) the rate of LDL-C target (<70 mg/dl) achievement after 6-10 weeks from index event and at later follow-up, (ii) the distance from LDL-C target during follow up, (iii) adherence rate and visit attendance. METHODS Multicenter observational prospective clinical study ACS patients, evaluating target attainment rate at 6 weeks (V0) and 18 months (V2). RESULTS Approximately 97.4% patients enrolled (N=524) received statin-based therapy, and 3.6% received ezetimibe at discharge; mean LDL-C values decreased from 113.0±44.7 mg/dL at discharge to 71.3±26.5 mg/dl at V0. Among patients with known LDL-C for main time-points, 51.7% achieved target LDL-C at V0, 45.8% at V2. Among patients not reaching the target, the mean distance from target was 23.5±20.7 mg/dL. Attainment of target LDL-C was similar in patients receiving intensive or low-moderate statin-based treatment (approximately 50%). LDL-C target attainment was associated with lower LDL-C value at discharge and smoking status. Adherence to statin treatment was high (96.2%) throughout, similarly to medical appointment attendance at V2 (84.7%). CONCLUSION Despite most ACS patients receiving intensive statin-based regimens, only approximately half achieved LDL-C target, suggesting the need for further optimizing drug selection, combination and dosage.

Get With The Guidelines

Background: Based on the documented benefits of intensive lipid lowering therapy (LLT) with statins in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) guidelines recommend intensive LLT in ACS patients. However, little information is available regarding application of these guidelines in hospitalized ACS patients. Methods: The Get With The Guidelines database was analyzed for all ACS hospitalizations from 07/2005 to 04/2007 at 329 hospitals across the USA of which 277 sites reported the dose of LLT. Intensive LLT was defined as that expected to provide a >50% reduction in LDL: atorvastatin 40/80 mg, rosuvastatin 20/40 mg, simvastatin 80 mg, and any statin combined with ezetimibe. All other LLTs were considered less intensive therapy. Results: Of 60,453 ACS hospitalizations, 84.4% eligible were discharged on LLT. LLT dosing was available in 22,807 (37.7%). Of these patients only 8400 (36.8%) of ACS patients were treated at time of discharge with intensive LLT, whereas 63.2% were discharged on less intensive LLT. Comparison of demographic characteristic and clinical features revealed that older age and female gender were associated with use of less intensive LLT whereas patients undergoing PCI with a stent and history of smoking were more likely to receive intensive LLT. Admission LDL level was modestly predictive of more intensive LLT. Conclusions: In this large cohort of contemporary ACS patients, close to two-thirds of eligible patients were not discharged on intensive LLT. Age and gender appear to be significant contributors to less intensive LLT. These findings emphasize the ongoing need for implementation of current guidelines for intensive LLT in ACS patients.

Lipid Spectrum

В данной статье представлены особенности липидного спектра у пациентов с острым коронарным синдромом в отдаленном периоде после операции коронарного шунтирования (КШ), в сравнении групп с Инфарктом миокарда (ИМ) и Нестабильной стенокардии (НС), а также результаты приверженности к гиполипидемической терапии с особенностями достижения целевых уровней липидного спектра. Полученные результаты представляют, что по липидному спектру группы идентичны между собой и отличаются от нормы, пациенты с низкой приверженности к гиполипидемической терапии и не достигают целевых уровень по холестерин липопротеинов низкой плотности (ХС-ЛПНП) рекомендованным Европейского кардиологического общества (ESC, ЕОК) от 2019г. This article presents the features of the lipid spectrum in patients with acute coronary syndrome in the long-term period after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery, in comparison with the groups with myocardial infarction and Unstable angina pectoris, as well as the results of adherence to lipid-lowering therapy with particularities of achieving target levels of the lipid spectrum. The results obtained represent that in terms of the lipid spectrum the groups are identical and differ from the norm, patients with low adherence to lipid-lowering therapy and do not reach the target levels for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) recommended by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) from 2019.

Abstract Background Guidelines recommend intensive low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) lowering in high cardiovascular (CV) risk patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), stroke and critical limb ischemia (CLI). Purpose We evaluated LDL-C goal attainment and lipid-lowering treatment (LLT) in a Chinese population with ACS, stroke and CLI patients. Methods We retrospectively evaluated consecutive high CV risk patients discharged between 2013 and 2017 from 3 hospitals in Hong Kong. Lipid profile and LLT were compared among 3 patient groups: ACS, Stroke and CLI. Results Of 10,168 high-CV risk patients (mean age 70.6±13.7 years; 62.4% male), 64.0% were ACS, 33.6% stroke and 2.5% CLI. Between baseline and 12-month, mean LDL-C reduced from 2.7±1.1 to 2.0±0.8 mmol/L in ACS patients, 2.7±1.0 to 2.0±0.7 mmol/L in stroke patients and 2.5±1.0 to 2.2±0.9 mmol/L in CLI patients (p<0.01). Proportion of CLI patients (29.9%) who achieved target LDL-C <1.8mmol/L at month 12 was significantly lower than stroke (45.6%) and ACS (48.2%) patients (p<0.01). The mean residual distance to target LDL-C was greatest in CLI (0.8±0.8 mmol/L) compared to stroke (0.6±0.6 mmol/L) and ACS (0.7±0.7 mmol/L) patients (p<0.01). Use of statin therapy on discharge was highest in ACS (88.4%) compared to stroke (78.3%) and CLI (52.6%) patients (p<0.01). But use of high-potency statin (rosuvastatin ≥20mg, atorvastatin ≥40mg or simvastatin ≥80mg) on discharge was very low in stroke (3.0%) and CLI (2.0%) compared to ACS (21.4%, p<0.01) patients. At 12 months 28.8% ACS, 34.3% stroke and 51.4% CLI patients were on no LLT (p<0.01) and the use of high-potency statin did not change significantly (3.0% in stroke, p=0.99; and 1.2% in CLI, p=0.48). Despite the poor achievement in LDL-C target in CLI patients, the proportion of CLI patients switching to high-potency statin (0.8%) was significantly lower than stroke (1.3%) and ACS (5.2%) patients (p<0.01). Conclusion This study demonstrated significant therapeutic gaps in lipid-lowering management in high CV risk patients. In particular, CLI patients were less aggressively treated with LLT and hence larger proportion of patient not achieving LDL-C target compared to ACS and stroke patients.
