OVERVIEW

This table states your main issues and the headline message.

Field Details Result Why

Title Coronary artery disease with high LDL, diabetes, chest burning, back pain, right-ear hearing loss — - Brings all key problems into one line for quick understanding. - Guides what needs attention first: heart risk, symptoms, and hearing.

One-sentence summary Cholesterol is high. Sugar control is good. Kidneys and liver are fine. Potassium runs a bit high. Chest, back, and hearing need follow up. Mixed - Cholesterol and symptoms require action now to lower risk. - Diabetes control and kidney function are on target, which is reassuring. - Potassium is borderline high, so we recheck soon for safety.

PATIENT CONTEXT – DEMOGRAPHICS

This table gives basic facts that guide risk and dosing.

Item Value Result Why

Age 58 years, male — - Age and sex affect heart risk and treatment targets. - Helps choose safe medicine doses and monitoring.

Height 184 cm — - Needed for body mass index and dose calculations. - Useful for tracking weight change over time.

Weight 85 kg Borderline - Body mass index about 25.1 kg/m², near upper normal. - Small weight loss improves triglycerides, reflux, and joint strain.

Waist 80 cm Good - Smaller waist links to lower heart and diabetes risk. - Suggests less central fat, which is protective.

PATIENT CONTEXT – SYMPTOMS

This table lists your symptoms, start dates, and what they point to.

Symptom Start/date Result Why

Chest burning at rest 3–4 months Needs work - No pain with walking, so less like classic angina, but heart disease means we still check. - Pantoprazole before breakfast fits reflux timing and should help. - Stress testing rules out silent ischemia safely.

Mid-back pain with flares Since age 30 Needs work - Worse with lifting and long sitting, which fits mechanical back pain. - Morning stiffness over 30 minutes points to stiffness and posture issues. - Not typical statin muscle pain, which is diffuse and symmetric.

Right-ear hearing loss with ringing 3 years, worsening Needs work - One-sided and progressive loss needs a full hearing test. - If inner-ear or nerve loss is confirmed, an inner-ear MRI is standard. - Early diagnosis protects function and rules out rare causes.

Dark skin patches, hip and low belly 6–8 months Watch - Sometimes itchy, common with friction or prior irritation. - If patches are scaly, tinea versicolor is likely and responds to antifungal cream. - See dermatology if patches spread, change, or do not improve.

CARDIOMETABOLIC GOALS

This table shows the targets for very high heart risk and explains each one in plain words.

Measure Goal Result Why

LDL cholesterol (“bad” cholesterol) Under 55 mg/dL [under 1.4 mmol/L] Not at goal - Lower LDL reduces plaque in arteries and future events. - With known heart disease, tight control gives the best protection. - Your current LDL is 143 mg/dL, so stronger treatment and adherence are needed.

Non-HDL cholesterol (all harmful cholesterol) Under 85 mg/dL [under 2.2 mmol/L] Not at goal - Non-HDL equals total cholesterol minus HDL, so it captures all harmful particles. - It predicts risk well when triglycerides are high. - Your non-HDL is 193 mg/dL, so we must reduce it.

ApoB (count of harmful particles) Under 65 mg/dL [under 0.65 g/L] Unknown - ApoB directly counts atherogenic particles that enter artery walls. - It falls as LDL falls and confirms risk reduction. - Ask the lab to add ApoB to your next fasting lipids.

WHAT EACH MEDICINE USUALLY DOES TO LDL

This table explains how much each medicine lowers LDL on average, when you see change, and key notes, all in plain words.

Medicine Typical LDL change When you see change Why

Repatha (evolocumab) About 60 percent lower First drop in 2–4 weeks, near full effect by 4–8 weeks - Strongest LDL lowering in your plan, even without statins. - Works well with diabetes and heart medicines you take. - Few interactions, so it is easy to combine with other drugs.

Ezetimibe 10 mg About 18 to 22 percent lower 2–4 weeks - Blocks cholesterol absorption from the gut, so it is gentle. - Very low muscle-ache risk, useful if statins caused pain. - Once-daily dose makes adherence easier.

Pitavastatin 2 mg About 35 to 40 percent lower 2–4 weeks - A statin with fewer drug interactions than some others. - Muscle aches can still happen, so we use a pain plan if retried. - Even low or intermittent dosing can add meaningful LDL lowering.

Bempedoic acid 180 mg About 15 to 20 percent lower 4–8 weeks - Works in the liver, not in muscle, so muscle-ache risk is low. - Helpful if ezetimibe is not tolerated or if more lowering is needed. - Can raise uric acid; report gout-like big-toe pain or tendon pain.

HOW COMBINATIONS ADD UP, USING YOUR LDL OF 143 mg/dL

This table gives easy estimates if doses are on time and you stay on schedule.

Treatment plan Estimated LDL after treatment What that means vs your goal under 55 mg/dL Why

Repatha alone Around 57 mg/dL Close to goal or at goal - A 60 percent average drop from 143 lands near 57 mg/dL. - Many patients reach target with Repatha alone if injections are on time.

Repatha plus ezetimibe Around 46 mg/dL Below goal - Adding ezetimibe gives another ~20 percent drop on the remaining LDL. - This low side-effect add-on commonly brings patients under goal.

Repatha plus bempedoic acid Around 46 mg/dL Below goal - Adds ~20 percent more lowering on top of Repatha. - Useful if ezetimibe caused aches or stomach issues.

Repatha plus pitavastatin 2 mg Around 34–37 mg/dL Below goal - Pitavastatin adds ~35–40 percent more on the remaining LDL. - Watch for muscle symptoms; use a stepwise pain plan.

Repatha plus ezetimibe plus bempedoic acid Around 37 mg/dL Below goal - Two non-statin add-ons together are an option if statin pain persists. - Keeps muscle risk low while meeting a strict target.

WHAT HAPPENS TO NON-HDL AND ApoB WHEN LDL FALLS

This table explains how the other markers move as LDL improves.

Marker What usually happens Why

Non-HDL cholesterol Usually falls by a similar percent as LDL - Non-HDL includes LDL and other harmful particles, so lowering LDL lowers non-HDL too. - Triglycerides also influence non-HDL, so diet and activity help.

ApoB Usually falls in step with LDL - ApoB counts the number of harmful particles in circulation. - Fewer LDL particles mean a lower ApoB number and lower risk. - Measuring ApoB confirms progress beyond LDL alone.

WHEN TO REPEAT BLOOD TESTS AFTER A CHANGE

This table sets clear timing to see the true effect and to keep you safe.

Change When to recheck Why

Start or restart Repatha 6 weeks - Repatha reaches steady effect by 4–8 weeks. - A 6-week lipid panel shows the real new baseline.

Start ezetimibe or pitavastatin 6 weeks - Both act within a month. - Six weeks confirms LDL response and checks for side effects.

Start bempedoic acid 8 weeks - Bempedoic acid has a slower onset. - Eight weeks captures near-steady impact.

Any change in perindopril or dapagliflozin 1–2 weeks for potassium and creatinine - ACE inhibitors and SGLT2 drugs can change kidney function and potassium. - Early labs protect against silent problems.

LIFESTYLE SNAPSHOT

This table covers habits that affect lipids, reflux, and pain.

Area Current Result Why

Steps About 2,000 per day Needs work - Add 1,000 steps each week toward 6,000 per day by 21 Sep 2025. - Two 10-minute walks after meals lower triglycerides and aid reflux.

Sleep 6–7 hours per night Borderline - Aim for 7–8 hours for pain control, appetite, and recovery. - A steady sleep time helps reflux and back stiffness.

Alcohol None Good - No alcohol supports blood pressure, weight, and triglycerides. - Avoids reflux triggers in the evening.

Tobacco Vapes nicotine Needs work - Quitting lowers heart and reflux risk. - Consider nicotine replacement or prescription aids and set a quit date.

Work stress High Needs work - Take standing and posture breaks every 45–60 minutes. - Thoracic extension and scapular squeezes reduce stiffness and pain.

CURRENT MEDICINES

This table lists what you take, how, and what to watch for.

Medicine Dose Schedule Purpose Result Why

Repatha (evolocumab) 140 mg Every 2 weeks Strong LDL lowering Good - Back on schedule after a gap. - Expect about 60 percent LDL reduction with consistent dosing. - Few interactions, easy to combine with other medicines.

Tirzepatide 5 mg Weekly, same day Diabetes and weight Good - HbA1c is at goal with this dose. - Mild enzyme rises can occur without pancreatitis; act only on severe upper-belly pain to the back. - Rotate injection sites and store in the refrigerator.

Dapagliflozin 10 mg Morning with breakfast Diabetes, kidney-heart Good - Kidney function is normal which supports safe use. - Stay well hydrated; pause during vomiting or diarrhea. - Helps protect kidneys and heart in diabetes.

Cosyrel (bisoprolol + perindopril) Label 2.5 mg; exact strengths unknown Night BP and heart Info needed - Exact milligrams for both parts guide blood pressure and potassium monitoring. - Perindopril can raise potassium; night dosing may reduce daytime lightheadedness. - Stand up slowly to avoid dizziness.

Duloxetine 30 mg Night Nerve and muscle pain Caution - Higher stomach bleeding risk if combined with NSAIDs like ibuprofen or naproxen. - Can cause dizziness or nausea, so night dosing helps tolerance. - Do not double doses if one is missed.

Coenzyme Q10 1,000 mg total 500 mg morning and 500 mg night Comfort if a statin is retried Optional - Evidence for muscle-ache relief is mixed, but it is safe. - Take with food to improve absorption and stomach comfort.

Tadalafil 5 mg Night Prostate and erectile symptoms Caution - Never combine with nitrates due to dangerous blood pressure drops. - May lower BP with Cosyrel; skip on dizzy days and rise slowly. - Tell all clinicians you use tadalafil.

Pantoprazole 40 mg 30–60 minutes before breakfast Reflux Good - Morning timing improves acid control and chest burning. - Consider magnesium level if used longer than one year. - Combine with reflux habits for best results.

Levothyroxine 25 mcg On waking, empty stomach Thyroid Good - Take with water only; wait 30–60 minutes before other pills or food. - Coffee, calcium, and iron reduce absorption if taken together. - Recheck TSH 6–8 weeks after any dose change.

Recently stopped Ezetimibe 10 mg; Pitavastatin 2 mg Stopped 2 months ago Lipids Review soon - Stopped due to back pain; ezetimibe has low muscle risk and may be retried. - If aches recur, bempedoic acid is a non-statin option.

PCSK9 history Inclisiran for about 2 months, then stopped — LDL Note - Now back on Repatha which works quickly when taken on time. - Consistency is key to reach the LDL goal.

MISSED-DOSE QUICK RULES

This table shows what to do if a dose is missed.

Drug Result Why

Levothyroxine If same day, take later on an empty stomach; if next day, skip - Avoids double dosing and keeps steady levels. - Empty stomach prevents poor absorption.

Pantoprazole Take next morning - Works best before breakfast for acid control. - Bedtime dose is less effective.

Dapagliflozin, Cosyrel, Duloxetine, Tadalafil, CoQ10 If same day, take when remembered; if next day, skip - Prevents accidental overdosing. - Keeps a simple, safe routine.

Tirzepatide Take within 4 days of the usual day; if more than 4 days, skip and resume next scheduled day - Keeps a steady weekly rhythm without stacking doses. - Reduces side-effect risk.

Repatha If less than 7 days late, inject and keep the same schedule; if more than 7 days late, inject and start a new 2-week cycle from that day - Maintains steady LDL lowering. - Simple rule avoids confusion about future dates.

STORAGE

This table notes storage rules for injectables.

Drug Result Why

Repatha, Tirzepatide Good if refrigerated - Keep in a refrigerator and protect from light. - Do not freeze, and do not shake pens or syringes. - Follow the box for allowed time at room temperature before use.

DRUG INTERACTIONS

This table highlights pairs to avoid or to monitor and what to do.

Pair What happens Risk Result Why

Duloxetine plus NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen, diclofenac) Higher stomach bleeding risk Moderate Bad combo - Prefer acetaminophen first for pain. - If an NSAID is needed, use the lowest dose for the shortest time with food. - Watch for black stools, vomiting blood, or new stomach pain.

Perindopril (in Cosyrel) plus your potassium trend ACE inhibitor can raise potassium Moderate Watch - Recheck potassium and creatinine in 1–2 weeks. - Avoid potassium salt substitutes and high-potassium supplements. - Stay hydrated, especially during hot weather or illness.

NSAID plus ACE inhibitor plus SGLT2 (dapagliflozin) “Triple whammy” can stress kidneys Moderate to High when ill or dehydrated Avoid when possible - Limit NSAIDs; use acetaminophen or topical options first. - During vomiting or diarrhea, pause dapagliflozin and perindopril until eating and drinking normally. - Check labs after any NSAID course if you feel unwell.

Tadalafil plus nitrates Dangerous blood pressure drop High Never - Do not combine under any circumstance. - If nitrates are needed in an emergency, tell staff you take tadalafil.

Cosyrel plus tadalafil Both lower blood pressure Moderate Caution - Keep tadalafil at night and rise slowly from sitting. - Skip tadalafil on dizzy days. - Check home BP if you feel lightheaded.

Levothyroxine plus food or other pills Food and pills block absorption Moderate Separate - Take levothyroxine alone on waking with water. - Keep at least 30–60 minutes before breakfast and other medicines. - Coffee, calcium, and iron especially interfere.

If clopidogrel is ever added plus some PPIs Some PPIs weaken clopidogrel Moderate Use pantoprazole - Only applies if clopidogrel is started later. - Pantoprazole is preferred if a PPI is needed with clopidogrel.
