Takeaways – Vascular Disease, Dyslipidemia, and Glycemic Dysregulation

 

Health Maintenance Checklist

1.  Reduce the number of cardiometabolic risk factors to <3, including:

a. Reduce body fat to achieve body mass index (BMI) ≤ 22 kg/m2;
b. Reduce triglycerides to ≤ 150 mg/dL and increase HDL-C to ≥ 40 mg/dL;
c. Reduce fasting blood glucose to ≤ 100 mg/dL and/or HbA1c to < 7%.

2. Encourage exercise ≥ 150 minutes per week to increase energy expenditure sufficiently to achieve neutral of negative (fat loss) energy balance.
3. Encourage adoption of a heart-healthy diet with focus on fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy, poultry, fish, legumes, and nuts to achieve neutral or negative (fat loss) energy balance.
4. Recommend limiting saturated fat to 5% to 6% of total caloric intake.

Lista de verificación de mantenimiento de la salud

1. Reducir el número de factores de riesgo cardiometabólico a <3%, incluyendo:
a. Reducir la grasa corporal para lograr un índice de masa corporal (IMC) ≤ 22 kg/m2;
b. Reducir los triglicéridos a ≤ 150 mg/dL y aumentar el HDL-C a ≥ 40 mg/dL;
c. Reducir la glucemia en ayunas a ≤ 100 mg/dL y/o HbA1c a <7%.
2. Fomentar el ejercicio ≥ 150 minutos por semana para aumentar el gasto energético lo suficiente como para lograr un balance energético neutro o negativo (pérdida de grasa).
3. Fomentar la adopción de una dieta saludable para el corazón que se concentre en frutas, verduras, lácteos bajos en grasa, aves, pescado, legumbres y nueces para lograr un balance energético neutro o negativo (pérdida de grasa).
4. Recomendar limitar las grasas saturadas entre 5% y 6% de la ingesta calórica total.

Episodic Care Considerations

1. Body fat determination with obesity surrogate of body mass index (BMI) ≥ 22 kg/m2 should be assessed annually, and negative energy balance targeting diet (intake) and exercise (expenditure) implemented as needed for fat loss.
2. Fasting lipid profile or at minimum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and triglycerides should be assessed annually, with diet, exercise, and statin or extended-release niacin prescribed to achieve target triglycerides ≤150 mg/dL and HDL-C ≥40 mg/dL.
3. HbA1c every 3 years, with diet, exercise, and metformin (firstline agent) prescribed to achieve target HbA1c < 7%; second- and third-line agents may be required.

Consideraciones de cuidado episódico

1. Se debe evaluar anualmente la determinación de la grasa corporal como un sustituto de obesidad en el índice de masa corporal (IMC) ≥ 22 kg / m2, y se debe implementar un balance energético negativo dirigido a la dieta (ingesta) y al ejercicio (gasto) según sea necesario para la pérdida de grasa.
2. El perfil de lípidos en ayunas o, como mínimo, el colesterol de lipoproteínas de alta densidad (HDL-C) y los triglicéridos deben evaluarse anualmente, con dieta, ejercicio y prescripción de estatinas o niacina de liberación prolongada para alcanzar el objetivo de triglicéridos de ≤150 mg / dL y HDL- C máx ≥40 mg / dL.
3. HbA1c cada 3 años, con dieta, ejercicio y metformina (fármaco de primera línea) prescrito para alcanzar el objetivo de HbA1c <7%; es posible que se requieran agentes de segunda y tercera línea.
