Abstract

This is the fourth update of the therapeutic planning tables. These tables are a simple desktop tool, to help in determining the most appropriate oral cholesterol-lowering therapy for patient. This can either be with monotherapy or combination therapy (statins plus ezetimibe), taking into account the patient LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) and the therapeutic objective to be achieved. These therapeutic indications are based on 2 fundamental principles: the causality of LDL-C, and that the effect of cardiovascular protection depends on the decrease in LDL-C. It is based on a colour code that indicates the drugs that have the necessary power to meet the therapeutic objectives of the patient. We provide some recommendations on the strategy to follow to implement the most effective treatment. It is assessed up to what levels a decrease in LDL-C can be expected by adding a PCSK9 inhibitor.

Resumen

Se presenta la cuarta actualización de las tablas de planificación terapéutica. Esta tabla es una sencilla herramienta de sobremesa que permite determinar la terapia hipocolesterolemiante oral más apropiada para su paciente, ya sea con monoterapia o terapia combinada (estatinas más ezetimiba), teniendo en cuenta su colesterol LDL (cLDL) de partida y el objetivo terapéutico a alcanzar. Estas indicaciones terapéuticas se basan en dos principios fundamentales: la causalidad del cLDL y que el efecto de protección cardiovascular depende del descenso del cLDL. Se han diseñado como un código de colores que señala los fármacos que tienen la potencia necesaria para llevar a su paciente a objetivos terapéuticos. La figura 1 se asocia a unas recomendaciones sobre la estrategia a seguir para implementar el tratamiento más eficaz. La figura 2 permite valorar hasta que niveles podemos esperar un descenso de cLDL al añadir un inhibidor de PCSK9.
