Non–High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol, Guideline Targets, and Population Percentiles for Secondary Prevention in 1.3 Million Adults

Abstract: There is significant patient-level discordance between non-HDL-C and LDL-C percentiles at lower LDL-C and higher triglyceride levels, which has implications for the treatment of high-risk patients. Current non-HDL-C cutpoints for high-risk patients may need to be lowered to match percentiles of LDL-C cutpoints. Relatively small absolute reductions in non-HDL-C cutpoints result in substantial reclassification of patients to higher treatment categories with potential implications for risk assessment and treatmen… Show more

“…There is a notable discordance between non-HDLC and LDLC levels in the US population. 29,30 A sizeable proportion of individuals with LDLC levels <70 mg/dL harbor non-HDLC levels ≥100 mg/dL, effectively reclassifying their cardiovascular risk. Previous guidelines set non-HDLC goals 30 mg/dL higher than respective LDLC goals and relegated non-HDLC as a secondary treatment target only in patients with TG levels ≥200 mg/dL.…”

“…Because the guidelines were established using results from patients with dyslipidemia, non-HDL-C for the screening of dyslipidemia may not be valid for practical use in a general population. A recent report suggests that in apparently healthy adults, LDL-C levels of 70 mg/dL and 100 mg/dL correspond to non-HDL-C levels of 93 mg/dL and 125 mg/dL, respectively [21]. In a study from the limiting under treatment of lipids in ACS with rosuvastatin (LUNAR) trial, an LDL-C value of 74 mg/dL corresponded to a non-HDL-C value of 92 mg/dL in subjects with acute coronary syndrome who were treated with high-dose statin therapy [22].…”
