Abstract Background Prevalence of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is high among patients with CAD. However, data on FH among ACS patients are still scarce. Therefore, we aimed to assess the prevalence, lipid-lowering therapy and short- and long-term outcomes in FH patients with ACS. Methods We finally included 19,781 consecutive patients from the Hyperlipidaemia Therapy in the tERtiary Cardiological cEnTer (TERCET) Registry for years 2006–2018, including 7,319 patients with ACS: 3,085 with STEMI, 2,256 with NSTEMI, and 1,978 due to unstable angina (UA) (stable CAD group [n=12,462] was treated as a reference). FH diagnosis was based on Dutch Lipid Clinic Network (DLCN) score. Results The overall occurrence of probable/definite FH and possible FH were 1.2% and 13.7% respectively. In ACS patients 1.6% had probable/definite FH and 17.0% possible FH. The highest occurrence of FH was observed in STEMI subgroup, where 20.6% of the patients had ≥3 points according to the DLCN criteria. In patients with definite/probable FH, 98.1% were administered statins at discharge (including 57.5% prescribed intensive statin therapy in comparison to only 23.7% in non-FH patients). Patients with definite/probable FH had higher in-hospital and 30-day mortality than patients without FH (3.5% vs 1.2%, p=0.0046 and 4.4% vs 1.7%, p=0.024, respectively). However, no significant differences in investigated outcomes were observed between the FH groups in the 12-month and 36-month follow-up. The number of patients with FH Conclusion The prevalence of FH (definite/probable/possible) in the Polish very high-risk population is even 14.9% and is significantly higher in patients with ACS than in patients with stable CAD. High intensive lipid lowering therapy, including the combination therapy allows improving long-term outcomes in patients with FH.

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.

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.

AbstractStatins are a class of hypolipidemic drugs, that are primarily used for the treatment of dyslipidemia and the prevention of cardiovascular disease. ATP III guidelines, 2002, recommends that LDL cholesterol be the primary target of therapy, and lipid lowering therapy may be initiated based on evaluation of short term and long term cardiovascular risk(1). We are report a case of dysuria follow statin group of drugs, which is not enlisted in the side effect of these drugs. In the present case after re-challenge with similar group of drug patient again developed the symptoms. Underlying hyperlipidemia was effectively controlled with Fenofibrates.

Abstract Introduction The International Atherosclerosis Society (IAS) has proposed “severe familial hypercholesterolemia (FH)” as a FH phenotype with the highest cardiovascular risk. Coronary artery disease (CAD) represents a major atherosclerotic change in FH patients. Given their higher LDL-C level and atherogenic clinical features, more extensive formation of atherosclerosis cardiovascular disease including not only CAD but stroke/peripheral artery disease (PAD) may more frequently occur in severe FH. Methods 481 clinically-diagnosed heterozygous FH subjects were analyzed. Severe FH was defined as untreated LDL-C>10.3 mmol/l, LDL-C>8.0 mmol/l+ 1 high-risk feature, LDL-C>4.9 mmol/l + 2 high-risk features or presence of clinical ASCVD according to IAS proposed statement. Cardiac (cardiac death and ACS) and non-cardiac (stroke and peripheral artery disease) events were compared in severe and non-severe FH subjects. Results Severe FH was identified in 50.1% of study subjects. They exhibit increased levels of LDL-C and Lipoprotein (a) with a higher frequency of LDLR mutation. Furthermore, a proportion of %LDL-C reduction>50% was greater in severe FH under more lipid-lowering therapy (Table). However, during the observational period (median=6.3 years), severe FH was associated with a 5.9-fold (95% CI, 2.05–25.2; p=0.004) and 5.8-fold (95% CI, 2.02–24.7; p=0.004) greater likelihood of experiencing cardiac-death/ACS and stroke/PAD, respectively (picture). Multivariate analysis demonstrated severe FH as an independent predictor of both cardiac-death/ACS (hazard ratio=3.39, 95% CI=1.12–14.7, p=0.02) and stroke/PAD (hazard ratio=3.38, 95% CI=1.16–14.3, p=0.02) events. Clinical characteristics of severe FH Non-severe FH Severe FH P-value Baseline LDL-C (mmol/l) 5.3±1.5 6.6±2.0 <0.0001 Lp(a) (mg/dl) 15 [8–28] 21 [10–49] <0.0001 LDLR mutation (%) 49.6% 58.9% 0.00398 On-treatment LDL-C (mmol) 133 [106–165] 135 [103–169] 0.9856 %LDL-C reduction>50% 21.3% 49.8% <0.0001 High-intensity statin (%) 13.3% 42.3% <0.0001 PCSK9 inhibitor (%) 6.3% 21.2% <0.0001 Clinical outcome Conclusions Severe FH subjects exhibit substantial atherosclerotic risks for coronary, carotid and peripheral arteries despite lipid lowering therapy. Our finding underscore the screening of systemic arteries and the adoption of further stringent lipid management in severe FH patients.
