a coronary artery bypass. JR is on insulin pump therapy and has a continuous
glucose monitor, and his most recent A1C was 6.7%. Their blood pressure was
129/78.
, Other recent laboratories include:
LDL cholesterol (67 mg/dL)
HDL: 54 mg/dL
Triglycerides: 172 mg/dL.
UACR 23 mg/g, GFR 61.
JR's meds include insulin, atorvastatin 80 mg, atenolol 50 mg, and aspirin. JR
has met with a dietitian and is attempting to eat healthier. They have shed five
pounds in the last few months.

following is deemed best practice?
Answer Options:

Keep LDL cholesterol below 70 mg/dL.
Increase your fiber intake by 20%
Add ezetimibe (Zetia) or a PCSK9 inhibitor.
JR has ASCVD, which is demonstrated by the requirement for a coronary artery
bypass, therefore the LDL objective is fewer than 55 mg/dL. Since they are
currently taking the maximum dose of atorvastatin at 80mg, the ADA
Guidelines propose adding an additional drug, either ezetimibe (Zetia) or a
PCSK9 to further lower the LDL to reach a target of fewer than 55 mg/dL.
