Vascular Protection Checklist 2013

A • A1C – optimal glycemic control (usually ≤7%) B • BP – optimal blood pressure control (<130/80) C • Cholesterol – LDL ≤2.0 mmol/L if decided to treat D • Drugs to protect the heart (regardless of baseline BP or LDL)

A – ACEi or ARB │ S – Statin │ A – ASA if indicated

E • Exercise / Eating healthily – regular physical

activity, achieve and maintain healthy body weight S • Smoking cessation

Multifaceted Management is Essential for T2DM

• Intensive multifaceted management in patients with Type 2 diabetes lowers overall mortality

• Multifaceted treatment strategy includes:– Glucose, lipid, BP control– Health behavior optimization– Use of vascular protective medications

• ≥40 yrs old or • Macrovascular disease or• Microvascular disease or• DM >15 yrs duration and age >30 years or• Warrants therapy based on the 2012 Canadian

Cardiovascular Society lipid guidelines

Among women with childbearing potential, statins should only be used in the presence of proper preconception counseling &

reliable contraception. Stop statins prior to conception.

guidelines.diabetes.ca | 1-800-BANTING (226-8464) | diabetes.caCopyright © 2013 Canadian Diabetes Association

What if baseline LDL-C ≤2.0 mmol/L?

• Within CARDS and HPS, the subgroups that started with lower baseline LDL-C still benefited to the same degree as the whole population

• If the patient qualifies for statin therapy based on the algorithm, use the statin regardless of the baseline LDL-C and then target an LDL reduction of ≥50%

1. All individuals with diabetes (type 1 or type 2) should follow a comprehensive, multifaceted approach to reduce cardiovascular risk including:– Achievement and maintenance of healthy body weight– Healthy diet– Regular physical activity– Smoking cessation– Optimal glycemic control (usually A1C <7%)– Optimal blood pressure control (<130/80 mmHg)– Additional vascular protective medications in the majority

of adult patients

[Grade D, consensus for T1DM, children/adolescents; Grade A, Level 1 for T2DM]

2. Statin therapy should be used to reduce CV risk in adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes with any of the following features:– Clinical macrovascular disease [Grade A, Level 1]

– Age ≥40 years [Grade A, Level 1 T2DM; Grade D Consensus T1DM]

3. ACE inhibitor or ARB, at doses that have demonstrated vascular protection, should be used to reduce CV risk in adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes with any of the following:

– Clinical macrovascular disease [Grade A, Level 1]

– Age ≥55 years [Grade A, Level 1 for those with an additional risk factor or end organ damage; Grade D, consensus for all others]
