16 Major coronary events (%) Statins in patients with and without diabetes From the 4 S and CARE trials 70 No diabetes Diabetes S - simvastatin CARE - pravastatin placebo statin (Kreisberg RA et al. Am J Cardiol 1998;82:67U) LDL-Cholesterol mmol/l mg/dl

19 Guideline recommendations Secondary prevention Class Level Elevated LDL- and low HDL are important risk I A factors in patients with diabetes mellitus Statins are first line agents for lowering LDLcholesterol in diabetic patients I A In diabetic patients with CVD statin therapy should be I B initiated regardless of baseline LDL-cholesterol with a treatment target of mmol/l (70-77 mg/dl) (Rydén, Standl et al Europ Heart J 2007; 28:88 )

20 Primary prevention with statins in diabetes The Collaborative Atorvastatin Diabetes Study (CARDS) Patients with type 2 diabetes Age (years) Baseline LDL mmol/l (mg/dl) 3.0 (116) CVD-manifestation Risk factor for CVD retinopathy or albuminuria or smoker or hypertension Randomised treatment None Atorvastatin 10 mg/day n=1 428 Placebo n= (Colhoun HM et al. Lancet 2004;364:685)

21 Major coronary events (%) Primary prevention with statins in diabetes The Collaborative Atorvastatin Diabetes Study (CARDS) 15 Primary endpoint - major coronary event -37% (95 CI: -52 to -17; p=0.001) Placebo 10 Atorvastatin Follow up (years) (Colhoun HM et al. Lancet 2004;364:685)

22 Primary prevention with statins in diabetes The CARDS trial Treatment effects primary and secondary endpoints Major CVE All cause mortality Primary ACS Coron revasc Stroke Mortality Any CVE Any CVE (Colhoun HM et al. Lancet 2004;364:685)

23 Guideline recommendations Primary prevention Class Level Given the high lifetime risk of CVD, it is suggested IIb C that all type 1 patients above age 40 years should be considered for statin therapy. In patients years (type 1 or 2), statin therapy should be considered when other risk factors are present (e.g. microvasc complications, poor glycemic control, hypertension, family history.) (Rydén, Standl et al Europ Heart J 2007; 28:88 )

24 Guideline recommendations Primary prevention Class Level Statin therapy should be considered in adult patients IIb B with type 2 diabetes without CVD if total cholesterol is >3.5 mmol/l (>135 mg/dl) targeting a LDL-cholesterol reduction of 30-40% (Rydén, Standl et al Europ Heart J 2007; 28:88 )

31 Guideline recommendations Secondary prevention Class Level In diabetic patients with hypercholesterolaemia IIb B >2mmol/l (177 mg/dl) after having reached the LDL target with statin therapy, statin therapy should be increased to reduce the secondary target of non-hdl cholesterol. In some cases, combination therapy with the addition of ezetemibe, nicotinic acid or fibrates may be considered (Rydén, Standl et al Europ Heart J 2007; 28:88 )

32 Diabetes and hyperlipidemia Treatment targets Epidemiology and cardiovascular risk Statin therapy Secondary and primary prevention Fibrates Multifactorial management

34 Concluding remarks Diabetes and Hyperlipidemia Diabetes and hyperlipidemia common combination with special characteristics statin treatment rewarding need for HDL-increasing drugs Treatment part of a multifactorial management present practice far from satisfactory
