restrictions include <7% of calories from saturated and trans fatty

acids, <200 mg of cholesterol daily, up to 20% of calories from

monounsaturated fatty acids, up to 10% of calories from polyunsaturated

fat, and total fat calories ranging between 25% and 35% of all

calories. Two oily fish meals/week are especially important for

post–myocardial infarction patients to provide a substantial reduction

in the risk of sudden cardiac death. Patients with CHD or a CHD

equivalent (symptomatic peripheral or carotid vascular disease,

abdominal aortic aneurysm, >20% 10-year CHD risk, or diabetes

mellitus) should immediately start appropriate lipid-lowering drug

therapy irrespective of their baseline LDL-C level. Patients without

CHD or CHD equivalent should be managed with lifestyle advice

(diet, exercise, weight management) for 3-6 months before drug therapy

is implemented.

Before drug therapy is initiated, secondary causes of hyperlipidemia

should be excluded. Most secondary causes (Table 31–7)

can be excluded by ascertaining the patient’s medication history and

by measuring serum creatinine, liver function tests, fasting glucose,

and thyroid-stimulating hormone levels. Treatment of the disorder

causing secondary dyslipidemia may preclude the necessity of treatment

with hypolipidemic drugs.

Arterial Wall Biology

More effective lipid-lowering agents and a better understanding

of atherogenesis have helped to prove that
