PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Lowering LDL-C has been shown to reduce ASCVD events, yet many ASCVD patients do not achieve their guideline-directed LDL-C goals leaving patients at increased risk of another ASCVD event. This review discusses implementation strategies to improve guideline-directed lipid management in patients with ASCVD focusing on the provider, patient, and system level.
RECENT FINDINGS: At a provider level, under-prescribing of statin intensity due most often to statin intolerance, clinical inertia, insufficient monitoring of LDL-C levels, and the difficulty and cost of prescribing other lipid-lowering therapies such as the PCSK9 inhibitors leads to suboptimal cholesterol management in ASCVD patients. Patients concerns about medication side effects and lack of understanding of their ASCVD risk are causes of poor adherence to their lipid-lowering therapy as are barriers at a system level.
SUMMARY: To improve cholesterol management in ASCVD patients will require an integrated approach targeting the provider, the patient and the system. There is a need for further education of clinicians on the importance of intensive LDL-C lowering in ASCVD patients and greater use of nonstatin LDL-C-lowering therapies for those patients on a maximally tolerated statin who have not achieved their guideline-directed LDL-C goal. This will require shared decision-making with a focus on patient education and patient-clinician communication so that the clinician's goals and aims align with that of the patient.
