1- Reduction of LDL-C to <70 mg/dL or high-dose statin therapy is reasonable. (Class IIa Level of Evidence: A)

 AHA / ACC 2007 Chronic Stable Angina Pectoris Guidelines Class IIa Recommendation 2 for LDL-C, HDL-C and Triglycerides Management should be: CLASS I CLASS IIa CLASS IIb CLASS III 3- Therapeutic options to reduce non–HDL-C are:


 * Niacin can be useful as a therapeutic option to reduce non HDL-C (after LDL-C lowering therapy) (Class IIa Level of Evidence: B)

 AHA / ACC 2007 Chronic Stable Angina Pectoris Guidelines Class IIa Recommendation 3 for LDL-C, HDL-C and Triglycerides Management for Niacin should be: CLASS I CLASS IIa CLASS IIb CLASS III
