Podcasts about coronary artery calcification

Menopause and age raise our cardiovascular disease risk. Athletes and highly active people also tend to have a higher prevalence of coronary artery calcium and atherosclerotic plaque (though it tends to be the benign kind). But what does that all mean? How can we know what's really going on in those coronary arteries of ours? To find out, host Selene Yeager had a Cleerly-enabled coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), which uses AI-enabled software to help characterize coronary plaque composition and cardiovascular disease risk. This week, she sat down with Anita Vadria, MS, PA-C, who is the Director of Medical Science Liaisons and Clinical Education at Cleerly to go over her results, talk about plaque and heart disease risk, and how technology is helping advance our understanding of our personal risk. Anita Vadria, MS, PA-C, is the Director of Medical Science Liaisons and Clinical Education at Cleerly. She is a Board Certified Physician Assistant with a focus in Cardiology.

In this week's Q&A episode, Dr. Rogers answers YOUR questions! 1. I am a 37 year old male that is very active. I would like to know if there is a specific vitamin regimen for my age group or is it just keep taking Vitamin D, Vitamin C, and Zinc? 2. Why should I take Vitamin D with K over Vitamin D3? 3. I am a male in my mid-70s, in good overall health but have a Coronary Artery Calcification score of 387. I have taken an 81mg aspirin for ~35 years along with a handful of the vitamins that many suggest (B complex, C, D, E, K, CoQ10, magnesium, etc.). You recently reinforced by reason in that a baby aspirin is good to reduce risk of Colon Cancer. I have read that nano-curcumin is good for heart and artery health. A recent newsletter from Dr. Blaylock recommends 250 mg 3x per day 20 minutes per day. I have also read that since both aspirin and Curcumin are potentially mild blood thinners they should not be used at the same time. If the 81 mg aspirin and curcumin should not be taken at the same time, which one seems most important for overall health. Would it be reasonable to take them on alternate days? 4. I recently got my Cleveland Heart Panel results and I am concerned about high ferritin and iron levels for no apparent reason (no massive supplementation). My ferritin was 158, Iron was 161, TIBC was 402 and %Transferrin Sat was 40. I have been iron deficient (under 40 ng/ML) my whole life mainly due to eating habits (vegan and vegetarian at times). What can cause this spike (up over 100 points in one year) and am I at risk for iron overload and damaging my organs? What did you think of this episode of the podcast?

David has a PhD in organic chemistry and spent 4 years in the pharmaceutical industry, developing drugs for cardiovascular disease and cancer. Inspired by the placebo effect, he left the industry to write books and educate people in how they can harness their mind and emotions to improve their health. He is now author of 10 books, including, ‘The Little Book of Kindness', ‘How Your Mind Can Heal Your Body', ‘I Heart Me' and the Amazon bestseller, ‘The Five Side Effects of Kindness'. David is an advocate for kindness and is working passionately to help inspire a kinder world.On this podcast we explore the placebo effect and what this tells us about the power of the mind on the body. We discuss how health professionals can really use this knowledge to maximise the effects of the medications we prescribe. And the importance of empathy and kindness and the evidence that links cardiovascular disease and the quality of our relationships.

In this podcast, Dr. Berg talks about the 11 warning signs that you don't want to ignore. The most important thing to do is to focus on bulletproofing yourself by eating healthy and being active so you will never have any of these symptoms at all. 1. Left Arm Pain - This could be a heart problem or it means the heart is going into cramp. 2. Chest Pain - It could also be a heart problem or a blocked coronary artery. One of the best test for the heart is CAC or Coronary Artery Calcification test. 3. Slurred Speech - This could mean that you are having a stroke or a blood clot that is sludge into somewhere in the brain that stopping the circulation where the speech centers could be affected. 4. Blood (Coughing) - It is a very bad indicator of a deep problem. 5. One side of the body (not working) - This could also be a symptom of a stroke and needs to be checked out as fast as you can. 6. Rapid weight loss (without diet) - This could potentially be cancer. 7. Vomiting This can mean a lot of things like from something you just ate, or when you have kidney stones, some type of obstruction, usually related to foods. 8. Leg swelling (left) - It can be related to the heart. 9. Growing rash 10. Unresolved pain - Find out through various test and see where the pain is coming from. 11.

Joshua Gaines shares his story of reversing decades of Crohn's Disease. For complete show notes, visit http://youcuredwhat.com/podcast/joshua[2:00] In 1991, at 29 years old, Joshua was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. Josh’s medical providers indicated that Crohn’s was "your thing that you’re going to have to deal with for the rest of your life." [8:20] There was an expectation that Joshua would require a number of intestinal surgeries over the course of his life. [14:00] Josh had an experience with his son that made him realize food could have an impact on health. [15:30] An integrative physician suggested a no-added-sugar, no-artificial-flavor diet for Josh’s son, who had been diagnosed with Tourette’s, with tics getting progressively worse over time. In six weeks on this diet, his tics went away. [22:00] In February 2013, Joshua adopted a gluten-free diet. 80% of his Crohn’s symptoms went away, but scans still showed Crohn’s activity and gallbladder issues. [25:50] In 2017, Joshua started on the ketogenic diet. He describes the foods he ate. [30:15] Joshua describes the differences he began noticing from the ketogenic diet. His symptoms were 90-plus percent gone. [32:40] He mentions that he had to find these helpful dietary strategies on his own; he did not get help from the doctors he went to. [34:10] He describes that prior to the ketogenic diet, he had tried medications (Humira, for example) without benefit. [36:10] Based on online research he had done, Joshua decided to try a carnivore diet. [36:50] For 14.5 months, Joshua’s diet became 90% beef. He also ate 6 eggs per day and occasionally had other types of meat (seafood or otherwise), and he had coffee. [37:40] Joshua’s blood markers (from his lipid profile) after eating this diet are markedly improved. [39:30] On the carnivore diet, Joshua noticed his longtime cravings for sweets had disappeared. [41:40] Joshua found a great deal of benefits from adopting this carnivorous diet, and he started to help his mother (in her mid-80s) find some of the same benefits. [43:49] Joshua’s most recent scans show NO Crohn’s activity in his large intestine, and he has another scan coming up on his small intestine coming up soon. [46:55] Joshua has a perfect “0” on his Coronary Artery Calcification scan. Having a 0 score is typically indicative of good heart health (especially for a 58-year-old, as Josh is at the time of recording), as it means there is no detected calcification. [50:10] Joshua is now experimenting with adding a small amount of the following foods back to his diet: hard cheese, a few beans, avocados, and vegetables. [53:00] Joshua has nearly perfect digestive health now. No gas, no pain. [53:40] Joshua used to have approximately 5-6 bowel movements per day. The number has gone down and the quality has gone up. [56:10] Joshua’s exercise recovery is greatly improved now on his carnivore diet. [1:01:40] Now that he’s improved his health, what’s one thing Joshua enjoys doing that he couldn’t do before?

Today We Finally Get to Talk Healthy Fats Science with Ivor Cummins Also Known As The Fat Emperor From Dublin Ireland:  Ivor Cummins BE(Chem) CEng MIEI PMP® completed a Chemical Engineering in 1990. He has since spent over 25 years in corporate technical leadership and management positions, and was shortlisted in 2015 as one of the top 6 of 500 applicants for “Irish Chartered Engineer of the Year”. Ivor’s focus and specialty are leading teams in complex problem-solving scenarios. He has often led worldwide teams with over 60-70 engineers working on major technical issues; the largest of these involved product issues where hundreds of millions of dollars were in the balance. Several years ago, Ivor encountered a complex technical challenge in his personal life. Receiving poor blood test results, he was unable to get solutions via the doctors consulted. He thus embarked on an intense period of biochemical research into the science of human metabolism. Within eight weeks he had resolved and optimized all of his blood test metrics. Also, he had shed over 15Kg of body fat with relative ease. In the following years, he continued his research on the many “root causes” of modern disease, from “cholesterol” through to insulin resistance. In order to help stem the tide of chronic disease in our modern population, he embarked on a personal mission to share the science and solutions. He began this process by giving corporate talks and releasing them on YouTube for the wider audience. He has since become a professional speaker of note, giving many public lectures and chairing interviews with worldwide health experts. Most notably he was invited by the President of the British Association for Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation (BACPR) to give a keynote talk on heart disease root causes, at their annual conference in London last October. All of Ivor’s public lectures and interviews are available on  Ivor's YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPn4FsiQP15nudug9FDhluA) , where well over a million views have been recorded to date: His book on chronic disease root causes and resolution strategies (co-authored with Denver doctor Jeffry Gerber MD, FAAFP) was released in the US and Canada in March 2018. It has already received around 150 reviews on Amazon, of which ~97% are 5-stars, check out Eat Rich Live Long on Amazon (https://amzn.to/2C5fjno) ! His blog and other content is available at www.thefatemperor.com (http://www.thefatemperor.com) From early 2018 Ivor has been fully funded by the Irish Heart Disease Awareness charity ( www.IHDA.ie (http://www.IHDA.ie) ). This fulfills their mission in enabling all middle-risk people to access the power of the Coronary Artery Calcification scan (CAC). He has thus ramped up his passion to help the people help themselves – in a journey to health, weight-loss, and longevity. Ivor lives in Dublin, Ireland, with his wife and five children. On This Episode You Will Hear:[spp-timestamp time="00:30"] Introduction [spp-timestamp time="02:51"] What's a stag party and hen party in Ireland. [spp-timestamp time="04:20"] Scott and Ivor connect on chainsaws, farming, and more. Giant gardens, before poisons, pesticides and chemicals and all this other stuff. Ivor only remembered nitrate fertilizer which was spread on the grass. You learn as well did the value of hard work. I mean, we have to work 14 hour days sometimes bringing in that hey. [spp-timestamp time="08:02"] Scott shares his Irish bloodlines plus 23andme DNA analysis. Talking fatty coffee, don't need to call it bulletproof, using Kerrygold Grass Fed Irish Butter. Ivor generally doesn't really eat breakfast anymore but makes a French press or espresso coffee. As it happens, he's not crazy about the butter in the coffee and the little globules. So he puts in heavy cream aka Irish double cream. [spp-timestamp time="10:10"] Ivor didn't want to come across as arrogant

Ivor Cummins is a Biochemical Engineer who in 2012 was disturbed by a set of his own abnormal blood test results. Consultation with multiple doctors yielded little insight into the cause of his elevated cholesterol, ferritin and GGT so he turned to his analytical roots to study the problem. In the process, he evaluated hundreds of scientific papers, ultimately concluding that that flawed hypotheses and a breach of the scientific method have resulted in the current “diabesity” epidemic. Ivor is here today with Dr. Tommy Wood talking on topics related to his well-referenced new book, Eat Rich, Live Long: Mastering the Low-Carb & Keto Spectrum for Weight Loss and Great Health. They also discuss the trouble with polyunsaturated oils, advice on fat loss for the insulin sensitive, and the best test for cardiovascular disease risk (hint: it’s not LDL).

On this week's show, we discuss some of the latest research and findings in our News & Views segment. Our stories are about how the soda industry plays politics to advance its agenda, whether salt is good or bad in the human diet, and whether calcium supplements pose a heart-health risk. The Moment of Paleo segment offers ideas about how we can think about areas of our lives, by analogy, based on what we know about whole foods vs. processed foods and supplements. In the After the Bell segment a truly thought-provoking talk about how we create ourselves with our thoughts.

Commentary by Dr. Valentin Fuster

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a major public health problem not only in developed but also in developing countries.1 CHD rates in Japan are uniquely low compared to the USA and other developed countries.In a paper in April's Heart, Akira Sekikawa and colleagues from the University of Pittsburgh looked at whether serum concentrations of long chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCn3PUFAs) contribute to the difference in the incidence rate of coronary artery calcification (CAC) between Japanese men in Japan and white men in the USA.Alistair Lindsay asks him what they found.Read the full paper:Long chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and incidence rate of coronary artery calcification in Japanese men in Japan and white men in the USA: population based prospective cohort study http://goo.gl/rwKUCW

Interview with Jared P. Reis, PhD, author of Association Between Duration of Overall and Abdominal Obesity Beginning in Young Adulthood and Coronary Artery Calcification in Middle Age

Objectives: Pericardial adipose tissue (PAT) is associated with coronary artery plaque accumulation and the incidence of coronary heart disease. We evaluated the possible incremental prognostic value of PAT for future cardiovascular events. Methods: 145 patients (94 males, age 60 10 years) with stable coronary artery disease underwent coronary artery calcification (CAC) scanning in a multislice CT scanner, and the volume of pericardial fat was measured. Mean observation time was 5.4 years. Results: 34 patients experienced a severe cardiac event. They had a significantly higher CAC score (1,708 +/- 2,269 vs. 538 +/- 1,150, p < 0.01), and the CAC score was highly correlated with the relative risk of a future cardiac event: 2.4 (1.8-3.7; p = 0.01) for scores > 400, 3.5 (1.9-5.4; p = 0.007) for scores > 800 and 5.9 (3.7-7.8; p = 0.005) for scores > 1,600. When additionally a PAT volume > 200 cm(3) was determined, there was a significant increase in the event rate and relative risk. We calculated a relative risk of 2.9 (1.9-4.2; p = 0.01) for scores > 400, 4.0 (2.1-5.0; p = 0.006) for scores > 800 and 7.1 (4.1-10.2; p = 0.005) for scores > 1,600. Conclusions:The additional determination of PAT increases the predictive power of CAC for future cardiovascular events. PAT might therefore be used as a further parameter for risk stratification.
