The interaction between primary hyperlipidemias and type 2 diabetes escalates cardiovascular risk, necessitating accurate identification and adequate prescription of newer lipid-lowering therapies.
The coexistence of primary hyperlipidemias and type 2 diabetes significantly escalates cardiovascular risk, requiring accurate diagnosis and targeted lipid-lowering therapies.
There is a gap of knowledge about the clinical and pathophysiological implications resulting from the interaction between primary hyperlipidemias and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Most of the existing evidence comes from sub-analyses of cohorts; scant information derives from randomized clinical trials. The expected clinical implications of T2D in patients with primary hyperlipidemias is an escalation of their already high cardiovascular risk. There is a need to accurately identify patients with this dual burden and to adequately prescribe lipid-lowering therapies, with the current advancements in newer therapeutic options. This review provides an update on the interactions of primary hyperlipidemias, such as familial combined hyperlipidemia, familial hypercholesterolemia, multifactorial chylomicronemia, lipoprotein (a), and type 2 diabetes.
Zubirán et al. (Tue,) conducted a review in Primary hyperlipidemias and type 2 diabetes. Lipid-lowering therapies was evaluated. The interaction between primary hyperlipidemias and type 2 diabetes escalates cardiovascular risk, necessitating accurate identification and adequate prescription of newer lipid-lowering therapies.
