Case Scenario
A 58-year-old obese male patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) presents with a history of ACS and previous CABG 2 years earlier. His HbA1C value has been stable at 7.2% with metformin and liraglutide 1.8 mg daily.
He is currently normotensive with Lozartan/HCT 50 mg/12.5 mg with a urine/albumin creatinine ratio at 80 mg/mg and an eGFR of 48 ml/min.
The patient’s current lipid profile with rosuvastatin 40 mg and ezetimibe 10 mgdaily is as follows: (LDL-C), 66 mg/dl; (TGs), 320 mg/dl; (HDL-C), 38 mg/dl; and non– HDL-C, 130 mg/dl.
The patient and his primary care physician are concerned about his residual risk of recurrent ASCVD events and his overall prognosis. What is your recommendation for the patient?
