Episode 112: Statins in Primary CareDr. Tiwana explains the use of statins for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease.Written by Ripandeep Tiwana, MD (Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at Cedar Sinai Medical Center – Heart Institute). Edition of text and comments by Hector Arreaza, MD.____________________________________________You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Definition.Statins commonly referred to as lipid-lowering medications, are important in primary care as they serve multiple long-term benefits than just lipid lowering alone. They are HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. As a refresher, this is the rate-controlling enzyme of the metabolic pathway that produces cholesterol. This enzyme is more active at night, so statins are recommended to be taken at bedtime instead of during the day. Statins are most effective at lowering LDL cholesterol. However, they also help lower triglycerides and raise HDL cholesterol.Statins are not limited to just patients with hyperlipidemia. They reduce illness and mortality in those who have diabetes, have a history of cardiovascular disease (including heart attack, stroke, peripheral arterial disease), or are simply at high risk for cardiovascular disease. Statins are used for primary and secondary prevention.Types of statins.How do we determine which statin our patients need?First, we need to know that not all statins are created equal. They vary by intensity and potency thus, and they are categorized as either low, moderate, or high intensity.Several statins are available for use in the United States. They include Atorvastatin (Lipitor), Fluvastatin (Lescol XL), Lovastatin (Altoprev), Pitavastatin (Livalo, Zypitamag), Pravastatin (Pravachol), Rosuvastatin (Crestor, Ezallor), Simvastatin (Zocor)Commonly used in clinics: Simvastatin, Atorvastatin, and Rosuvastatin.Statin Dosing and ACC/AHA Classification of Intensity                                  Low-intensity                                   Moderate-intensity                                     High-intensityAtorvastatin              NA 1                                                          10 to 20 mg                                                   40 to 80 mgFluvastatin                20 to 40 mg                                          40 mg 2×/day; XL 80 mg                                NALovastatin                 20 mg                                                       40 mg                                                                         NAPitavastatin               1 mg                                                          2 to 4 mg                                                                   NARosuvastatin             NA                                                            5 to 10 mg                                                          20 to 40 mgSimvastatin                10 mg                                                      20 to 40 mg                                                             NAOf note, atorvastatin and rosuvastatin are only for moderate or high-intensity use, and do not use simvastatin 80 mg.Identifying patients at risk.How do we determine who needs statin therapy?Once we become familiar with the different statins, we must figure out which intensity is advised for our patient. Recommendations for statin therapy are based on guidelines from The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), American Diabetes Association (ADA), and the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) which recommend utilizing the ASCVD risk calculator in those patients who do not already have established cardiovascular disease.ASCVD stands for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, defined as coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, or peripheral arterial disease presumed to be of atherosclerotic origin. ASCVD remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States, especially in individuals with diabetes.The ASCVD risk score determines a patient's 10-year risk of cardiovascular complications, such as a myocardial infarction or stroke. This risk estimate considers age, sex, race, cholesterol levels, use of blood pressure medication, diabetic status, and smoking status. Regarding age, this calculator only applies to the age range of 40-79 as there is insufficient data to predict risk outside this age group.There are several online and mobile applications available to calculate this score. Once calculated it gives a recommendation for which intensity statin to use. However, as this is a recommendation, it is essential to use your own clinical judgment to decide what is best for your individual patient. Please refer to the above table as a reference for which statin and dose you may consider using.Keeping the above calculator in mind, additional statin guidelines are recommended by the ACC:Patients ages 20-75 years and LDL-C ≥190 mg/dl use high-intensity statin without risk assessment. (You do not need the calculator.)People with type 2 diabetes and aged 40-75 years use moderate-intensity statins, and risk estimate to consider high-intensity statins. (It means moderate for all diabetics older than 40, high for some.)Age >75 years, clinical assessment, and risk discussion. Age 40-75 years and LDL-C ≥70 mg/dl and 10%. Grade B recommendation: prescribe a statin for the primary prevention of CVD.Grade C – 40-75 years with >= 1 cardiovascular risk factor AND estimated 10-year ASCVD risk 7.5-10%. Grade C recommendation: selectively offer a statin for the primary prevention of CVD. The likelihood of benefit is smaller in this group than in persons with a 10-year risk of 10% or greater.Grade I - The USPSTF found insufficient evidence to recommend for or against initiating a statin for the primary prevention of CVD events and mortality in adults 76 years or older.The USPSTF is also very clear regarding the intensity of statin therapy. They explained that there is limited data directly comparing the effects of different statin intensities on health outcomes. Most of the trials they reviewed used moderate-intensity statin therapy. They conclude that moderate-intensity statin therapy seems reasonable for most persons' primary prevention of CVD.The USPSTF has a broader recommendation, whereas the ACC guidelines are more detailed and individualized and provide guidance on the recommended intensity of statin therapy.Labs needed.Establish baseline labs for serum creatinine, LFTs, and CK only if there is a myopathy risk. Routine monitoring of LFTs, serum creatinine, and CK is unnecessary; only check if clinically indicated.A lipid panel should be checked in 6-8 weeks, and the patient should monitor themselves for any side effects, including myalgias. If LDL-C reduction is adequate (≥30% reduction with intermediate statins and 50% with high-intensity statins), regular interval monitoring of risk factors and compliance with statin therapy is necessary to sustain long-term benefit.Side effects and contraindications.Some common side effects include URI-like symptoms, headache, UTI, and diarrhea. Some patients are very hesitant to take any medications. Warning about side effects may decrease compliance. Major  contraindications for statin therapy include active liver disease, muscle disorders, pregnancy, and breastfeeding.Special considerations.Chronic kidney disease: The preferred statins for CKD with severe renal impairment are atorvastatin and fluvastatin because they do not require dose adjustment. Pravastatin would be a second choice.Chronic liver disease: Statins are contraindicated in patients with decompensated cirrhosis or acute liver failure. Abstinence from alcohol is critical in patients with chronic liver disease who are taking statins. Pravastatin and rosuvastatin are the preferred agents. Check lipid levels to determine if LDL-C reduction is accomplished with no changes in aminotransferases. You may consider stopping, increasing dose, or changing statin as you discuss the risks vs. benefits with your patient.Conclusion: Simply put, if a patient has an LDL of greater than 190, is a diabetic, has an established history of cardiovascular disease, or is at risk for it, then the patient should ideally be taking a statin unless there is a contraindication, allergy, or other special circumstance that limits him/her from doing so. If you have patients that apply to any of the above scenarios and are not already on a statin, determine their risk, and consider starting them on a statin “stat” to reduce morbidity and mortality. On the other hand, be mindful of overprescribing. Do not prescribe statins to patients who do not meet the above criteria.________________________________________Now we conclude our episode number 113, “Statins in Primary Care.” Statins are powerful medications for the prevention of cardiovascular disease. Do not forget to recommend non-pharmacologic measures such as healthy eating and physical activity, but let's also consider adding a statin to patients who are at moderate to high risk for cardiovascular disease.This week we thank Hector Arreaza and Ripandeep Tiwana.

Show notes - Challenging Cases of Challenging Cases of Cardiovascular Prevention with Dr. Martha Gulati Case #1 Synopsis: A 55-year-old South Asian woman presents to prevention clinic for an evaluation of an elevated LDL-C. Her prior history includes hyperlipidemia, hypertension, obesity, and pre-eclampsia. She was told she had “high cholesterol” a few years prior and would need medication. She started exercising regularly and cut out sweets from her diet. Before clinic, labs showed: Total Cholesterol (mg/dL) of 320, HDL 45, Triglycerides 175, and (directly measured) LCL-C 180. Her Lipoprotein(a) is 90 mg/dL (ULN being ~ 30 mg/dL). Her HbA1C is 5.2% and her 10-year ASCVD Risk (by the Pooled Cohorts Equation) is 5.4%. Her recent CAC score was 110. She prefers not to be on medication and seeks a second opinion. Takeaways from Case #1 As Dr. Gulati notes, in the 2019 ACC/AHA Guideline on the Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease, South Asian ethnicity is considered a “risk enhancing factor.” The pooled cohort equations (PCE) may underestimate risk in South Asians. Furthermore, risk varies within different South Asian populations, with the risk for cardiovascular events seemingly higher in those individuals of Bangladeshi versus Pakistani or Indian origin. There are multiple hypotheses for why this may be the case including cultural aspects, such as diet, physical activity, and tobacco use. A better understanding of these factors could inform targeted preventive measures.In the same 2019 ACC/AHA Guideline on the Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease mentioned above, history of an adverse pregnancy outcome (APO) increases later ASCVD risk (e.g., preeclampsia) and is also included as a “risk-enhancing factor.” Studies have shown that preeclampsia is an independent risk factor for developing early onset coronary artery calcification. Recent data has shown that the risk for developing preeclampsia is not the same across race and ethnicity, with Black women more likely to develop preeclampsia. Black women also had the highest rates of peripartum cardiomyopathy, heart failure, and acute renal failure. After adjustment for socioeconomic factors and co-morbidities, preeclampsia was associated with increased risk of CVD events in all women, the risk was highest among Asian and Pacific Islander women.

Read the transcript In this third episode, Ivor Cummins, Chief Program Manager of Irish Heart Disease Awareness (IHDA), shares why as a top class engineer he’s been decoding the causes of human chronic disease and obesity. He relates why orthodox healthcare is unnecessarily putting our health and lives at risk. He imparts what we can do ourselves to predict and prevent modern disease. Topics we discussed in this episode Ivor’s blood chemistry showing high serum ferritin, Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) and cholesterol Ivor’s inability to get answers about the root cause of the high markers, nor any quantification of any increased morbidity or mortality His search for answers and the answer itself His serendipitous discovery that the risk markers used by orthodox healthcare are weak let alone optimal, even deeply misleading Better risk markers for morbidity and mortality prediction Serendipitously meeting David Bobbett who also had an axe to grind with orthodox healthcare after he discovered using his own efforts that he was very high risk, after being told he was low risk by healthcare The use of generic risk factor algorithms by orthodox healthcare and why they are not good enough Medications are often a very weak intervention e.g. little effect on all-cause mortality Correct diet and lifestyle is a more powerful intervention as it addresses the root cause Dietary root causes - primarily refined sugars, refined carbohydrates and vegetable oils (the three building blocks of manufactured “food like” products) Mixture of refined carbohydrates and fats is the least optimum for longevity and healthspan There is no more important factor in weight loss and longevity than your insulin status The bar where orthodox healthcare puts diabetes and diabetic physiology is very late in the diabetic journey, whereas it could be caught 15 years earlier The majority of the American adult population have diabetic physiology; the majority share this single metabolic disease Most doctors are not aware of insulin resistance outside the context of diabetes nor aware of insulin as a disease cause, only a medication Diabetic physiology is linked to fatty liver, obesity, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, many cancers; in fact all modern chronic diseases Orthodox healthcare is using glucose to determine diabetic status, whereas it should be using insulin, particularly post-prandial insulin Use of HOMA calculation as a cheap yet better measure of diabetic physiology Use of Kraft-Assay as the gold standard to measure of diabetic physiology Total cholesterol is a very poor risk marker LDL, the “bad” cholesterol is a very poor independent risk marker High resolution LDL analysis (LIPOPRINT/NMR) Bypassing fuzzy risk markers and guesses by using the Coronary Calcium Score (CAC) to see the disease directly The four types of people - it’s the metabolically unhealthy, thin outside, fat inside (TOFI) at the four who are most risk The orthodox intervention, low fat diets and vegetable oils, will probably just hasten your demise.
