A 76-year-old female with a history of myocardial infarction is unable to tolerate high-intensity statins due to muscle pain. Her LDL-C level on moderate-intensity statin therapy is 85 mg/dL. What is the best course of action?
Added by Milano M.
Step 1
Given the history of myocardial infarction, the patient is at high risk for cardiovascular events. This necessitates aggressive management of LDL-C levels. Show more…

2.In this study, it can be inferred that statin therapy was effective in this patient population at which of the following: Lowering total cholesterol levels within a range close to the recommended level of 200 mg/dL Lowering LDL levels within a range close to the recommended level of 100 mg/dL Raising HDL levels within a range considered to be protective of 60 mg/dL or higher A and B B and C A, B, and C 3. Based on these study results, which of the following lifestyle interventions would be helpful in reducing the risk of cardiovascular (CV) death or a second myocardial infarction (MI) after an initial MI? Dietary restriction of unsaturated fats to less than 7% of caloric intake Increased consumption of plant stanols and sterols Strict adherence to a low-carbohydrate diet (5% of calories from carbs) Daily consumption of a single alcoholic beverage

A 66-year-old man who was recently diagnosed with Parkinson disease comes to the physician for a follow-up examination. Carbidopa-levodopa therapy was initiated at the time of diagnosis. The patient tells the physician that he still has episodes during which he "freezes." He has a clumsy gait, and there is rigidity of his upper extremities and hands. An adjunct therapy designed to inhibit which of the following enzymes is most likely indicated in this patient? O A. Aromatic -amino acid decarboxylase O B. Dopamine B-hydroxylase O C. Monoamine oxidase B © D. Phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase O E. Tyrosine hydroxylase

A 45-year-old woman underwent an annual physical and laboratory examination as a requirement in her office. Her laboratory examination revealed that she has elevated TAGs and cholesterol. Upon consultation with the physician, she was advised to go on a lifestyle change, specifically a diet with exercise. Then the physician said that after 2-3 months she has to come back and have a retest of the laboratory examination. And if still elevated, she has to undergo drug intervention. Anthropometrics: Height: 5'10" Weight: 215 pounds College weight: 170 pounds Question: The dietitian advised the patient to include fruits in her diet. Avocado oil is high in monounsaturated oleic acid, a heart-healthy fatty acid. Compute the net ATP yield of oleic acid.
