Question 2

Phil is a 54-year-old male with multiple risk factors who has been on a high-dose statin for 3 months to treat his high LDL level. His LDL is 135 mg/dL and his triglycerides are elevated. A reasonable change in therapy would be to:
 
  1. Discontinue the statin and change to a fibric acid derivative.
  2. Discontinue the statin and change to ezetimibe.
  3. Continue the statin and add in ezetimibe.
  4. Refer him to a specialist in managing patients with recalcitrant hyperlipidemia.
