🗑
Hyperlipidemia   High levels of lipids in the blood, major risk for cardiovascular disease. May be inherited or acquired  
🗑
Hypercholesterolemia   Elevated blood cholesterol  
🗑
Dyslipidemia   Abnormal (excess were deficient) levels of lipoprotein's  
🗑
Types of cholesterol   High density lipoprotein (HDL)= good cholesterol low density lipoprotein (LDL)= bad cholesterol  
🗑
Standard lab values for lipids   Total cholesterol: <200 is desirable LDL-cholesterol: moderate risk level starts at 130 HDL cholesterol: > 60 is desirable triglycerides: <149 desirable  
🗑
Pt teaching hyperlipidemia   Monitored blood lipid levels maintain weight; exercise reduce dietary saturated fats and cholesterol increase soluble fiber in diet reduce or eliminate tobacco use use of plant sterols in stanols  
🗑
Atorvastatin/Lipitor lovastatin/Mevacor rosuvastatin/Crestor simvastatin/Zocor   Classification: HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors/statins therapeutic class: anti-hyperlipidemic inhibits HMG-COA reductase by making more LDL receptors and increase the removal of LDL from the blood.  
🗑
STATINS- drug interactions   antifungal's, HIV protease inhibitors, telaprevir, macrolide antiobotics- myopathy and rhabdomyolysis. Atorvastatin may ^ levels of digoxin and BC. Erythromycin increase affect of atorvastatin. No ethanol due of effects liver function.  
🗑
Statins side effects & food/herbal interactions   Side effects: H/A, GI issues, liver damage, rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown), liver disease. No grapefruit juice- poss toxicity. Red yeast rice ^ effects of atorvastatin. CoQ10 supplements may be needed.  
🗑
Cholestyremine/ Questran   Class: anti-hyperlipidemic Questran bile acid sequestrant that binds w bile acids and excreted through feces. admin: mix powder w 60 to 80 mL H2O. Give stat to avoid irritation or obstruction of G.I. tract. Other meds given 2hr prior/4 hr after questran  
🗑
cholestyremine/ Questran drug/food/herbal interactions   drug: Digoxin, penicillins, thyroid hormone, thiazide diuretics binds with questran and interfere with absorption. questran increase anticoagulants by decreasing vitamin K. herb/food: give on an empty stomach may interfere with nutrients.  
🗑
cholestyremine/ Questran side effects   side effects: Constipation, bloating, gas, nausea. Contradictions: total biliary obstruction with prior hypersensitivity to drug Preg cat C May take 30 days to reach maximum effect  
🗑
ezetimibe/ Zetia   class: anti-hyperlipidemic- Cholesterol absorption inhibitors that blocks absorption in the small intestines causing less cholesterol to enter the blood. side effects: nasal pharyngitis, myalgia, URI, arthralgia, diarrhea. preg cat C. given w statin  
🗑
Hyperlipidemic Drugs   Prior assessments: hx of cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, GI, poss preg. tx assessments: LFT'S, LIPIDS, CK (CREATINE KINASE), uric acid levels. side: musculoskeletal, GI, Decreased ADL's, yellow sclera/skin, constipation, tarry stools, numb/ting  
🗑
hyperlipidemic lifespan   Older adults metabolism and excretion decreases. Monitor ethnically pts for Max effects and min adverse effects. Hispanics/native Americans gallbladder 0 pregnancy or breast-feeding/lactation older risk of bleeding due to vit K def, dizziness.
