Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!   This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!   Check out today's questions:     Kellie: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have been with your program for almost 6 months now. I have completed the Vit-Tox tests and have gone through the FM Detox twice and now going through the CBO Protocol. I just turned 38 years old and I feel like my joints are of an 80 year old. I have played soccer since age 5 and still play on a competitive coed league to this day. I have played many other team/contact sports in the past. I have had past ankle, knee, and hip injuries due to sports and I do see possible knee and hip replacements in my future. When I do my daily workouts or go up/down stairs my ankles, knees, hips, and back crack or pop so easily and so much. I don't see glucosamine chondroitin as a supplement in your shop. Are there any suggestions you may have to keep my joints healthier? Thank you!!              Jon: Hey Dr Cabral, looking for advice and i feel like there's a population that struggles with this same topic. My Dr is recommending a statin due to my high LDL-C of 230. My LDL has gone up after cleaning up my diet in the last 7 months however ALL of my markers tested for have improved. Triglycerides have gone from over 200 to 100, HDL is up to 60, VLDL has dropped from 30 to 15, A1C is 5.2, blood pressure is normal for the first time ever, and so onr. My personal opinion is that i'm healthier than ever and i can't imagine having to go on what seems like a lifetime drug due to one marker being off and i don't buy the story that LDL alone is a concern for me. Curious on your opinion here and if you think i have something to worry about. Thanks!!                                                                                                                            Annette: I've been diagnosed with nephrocalcinosis by conventional doctors who say the cause is genetic. I have adjusted my diet to low sodium, low oxalate foods. The doctors say my next step is to try to get on the kidney transplant list before I need dialysis. I take potassium citrate and a calcitriol. Is there anything I can do to improve my kidney function?                                                                                                  Summer: Hi Dr. Cabral! I heard you say that it's best to replace aluminum cookware, but not necessary, and instead to use parchment paper as a barrier. Doesn't the aluminum off gas when heated? How does parchment paper prevent the aluminum from getting into the food? Thanks! By the way, to all my fellow listeners: please contact your state representatives and let them know you do not consent to geo-engineering in your skies. Several states have now banned it. We could all live healthier lives if we could work toward eliminating toxins and heavy metals including aluminum that are regularly being sprayed into our air.                                                                                                                                                Ann: Thank you Dr Cabral- you are changing SO many lives - thank you for all of your wisdom and teachings:) I have a question about Magnesium. My cortisol was high at my last lab test, and I took Full Spectrum magnesium for 12 weeks, and now I take Cal Mag daily. I also understand that I can take Calming Magnesium and CBD at night to help with sleep.I don't want to take too much for too long for my body, but I still think I need the help for my cortisol levels/ sleep. What combination of the above do you recommend? Is there a length of time that is too long to be on Full Spectrum Magnesium? PS. I do the 3-2-1 protocol, take Adrenal Soothe and will be repeating my big 5 this fall.

Save 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKIPEDIA at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comThis week on the podcast, Mikki speaks to Dr. Matt Budoff – a world-renowned cardiologist and researcher who has spent decades at the forefront of cardiovascular imaging and prevention. Known for his pioneering work in coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring and computed tomography angiography (CCTA), Dr. Budoff has helped transform how we detect and assess heart disease risk.In this conversation, we explore what first sparked his interest in cardiovascular imaging and how his views on lipids, plaque, and heart disease risk have evolved over time. We dig into his recent research on lifestyle interventions—particularly low-carbohydrate and ketogenic diets—and how they affect LDL cholesterol, atherosclerosis, and overall coronary health.We also discuss the implications of his KETO study, which found no direct correlation between elevated LDL-C and plaque burden in lean, metabolically healthy individuals following a ketogenic diet.Dr. Matthew J. Budoff is a distinguished cardiologist and professor of medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. He holds the Endowed Chair of Preventive Cardiology at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center and serves as the Program Director and Director of Cardiac CT in the Division of Cardiology Renowned for his pioneering work in non-invasive cardiovascular imaging, Dr. Budoff has significantly advanced the use of coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring and computed tomography angiography (CCTA) to detect and monitor coronary artery disease. His research focuses on early detection methods for cardiac disease, aiming to identify high-risk patients and implement preventive strategies Dr. Budoff has authored or co-authored over 50 books and book chapters and more than 2,000 articles and abstracts. His contributions have been recognised with numerous awards, including the Gold Medal Award from the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography and designation as a Master of the Society Matt Budoff https://profiles.ucla.edu/matthew.budoffLMHR https://www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacadv.2024.101109  Curranz Supplement: Use code MIKKIPEDIA to get 20% off your first order - go to www.curranz.co.nz  or www.curranz.co.uk to order yours Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

What if everything we thought we knew about cholesterol and heart disease risk… doesn't apply to everyone?In this episode, world-renowned cardiologist Dr. Matthew Budoff unpacks the results of a landmark one-year study tracking 100 lean, metabolically healthy individuals on a ketogenic diet with extremely elevated LDL levels.Dr. Budoff is the Program Director, Director of Cardiac CT, and the endowed chair of preventive cardiology at The Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center.In this interview, Dr. Scher and Dr. Budoff further break down the results of his new publication, which used advanced imaging to demonstrate that LDL cholesterol and ApoB levels are not associated with plaque progression in Lean-Mass Hyper Responders following a ketogenic diet.

What if everything you thought you knew about cholesterol, fat, and metabolic health was up for debate? As someone interested in nutrition research, I'm always up for exploring differing points of view especially when they come from a rigorous scientific background and can speak to the evidence base. So in this episode, I sit down with Dr Nick Norwitz PhD, to challenge some of my long held positions in nutrition science and break down keto.He's a researcher and expert in ketogenic diets, lipid metabolism, and metabolic health as well as a current medical student at Harvard Medical school.We discuss:

Is LDL cholesterol the best way to measure and predict heart disease?New research suggests no!Dave Feldman is an engineer turned citizen scientist who has devoted his life to understanding a phenomenon that some individuals around the world are experiencing: a robust increase in LDL cholesterol while on a ketogenic diet.Dave's past research has identified a unique phenotype dubbed Lean Mass Hyper-Responders (LMHRs). LMHRs respond to ketogenic therapy with a metabolic profile that includes elevated LDL-C and ApoB levels with otherwise healthy metabolic markers, including low triglycerides, high HDL, low blood pressure, low insulin resistance, and low BMI.In Dave's most recent publication, what most doctors would consider dangerously high LDL levels in LMHRs did not correlate with an increased risk of heart disease.In this video, Dr. Bret Scher sits down with Dave Feldman to discuss this groundbreaking study and its implications for ketogenic therapy and cardiology.Key Takeaways:LMHRs on a long-term ketogenic diet who show elevated LDL can show robust metabolic healthLDL-C and ApoB were not linked to plaque progression in LMHRsExisting plaque did predict future plaque accumulation in LMHRsIndividualized approaches to cardiovascular risk assessment are crucial to serve this group better.

This interview with JACC: Associate Editor Neha J. Pagidipati, MD, FACC, and author Kausik Ray, MD, FACC, reviews Dr. Ray's phase one study on solbinsiran, an siRNA therapy targeting ANGPTL3 to reduce triglycerides and cardiovascular risk. Dr. Ray explains the study's findings, including significant reductions in triglycerides, ApoB, and LDL, with a favorable safety profile. The conversation also touches on the broader landscape of ANGPTL3 inhibitors, the implications of HDL reduction, and the anticipation of phase two results to be presented at ACC 2025.

JACC Associate Editor Khurram Nasir, MBBS, FACC, speaks with author Michael J. Koren, MD, FACC, on his Featured Clinical Research study published in JACC and presented at ACC.25. This randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging phase 2 study assessed efficacy, safety, and tolerability of AZD0780, a small molecule PCSK9 inhibitor. The study randomized 428 patients (426 started treatment) with hypercholesterolemia on standard-of-care statin therapy to daily oral administrations of AZD0780 1, 3, 10 or 30 mg, or matching placebo for 12 weeks. AZD0780 significantly reduced LDL-C levels versus placebo at all doses (from 35.3% to 50.7%) and demonstrated a safety and tolerability profile similar to placebo. These findings support further development of AZD0780 as part of a simple, oral regimen for lowering LDL-C beyond that achieved with statin therapy.

Host: Keith C. Ferdinand, MD, FACC, FAHA , FASPC, FNLA, FPCNA A concerning number of patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) reached suboptimal LDL-C levels between 2021 and 2022. Even with new strategies that can help lower LDL-C, an analysis of over 3 million ASCVD patients in the Family Heart Database shows that these treatments are not being properly utilized. Join Dr. Keith C. Ferdinand as he delves into an analysis of management trends among these patients, which he presented at the 2024 Family Heart Foundation Global Summit. Dr. Ferdinand is a Professor of Medicine and the Gerald S. Berenson Endowed Chair in Preventative Cardiology at the Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans, Louisiana.

People often use the slogan « Everything in Moderation » to either justify unhealthy habits, or to fear monger others. One of my patients was scared of the radiation from a mammogram, while walking around with an LDL-C of 5.2.She refused breast cancer screening when 1/8 women will get diagnosed and also minimized her very high blood cholesterol levels, unknowingly living with a very high risk of cardiovascular disease, our world's top killer.While the scientific literature is quite clear, people online are confused.Go check out my website for tons of free resources on how to transition towards a healthier diet and lifestyle.You can download my free plant-based recipes eBook and a ton of other free resources by visiting the Digital Downloads tab of my website at https://www.plantbaseddrjules.com/shopDon't forget to check out my blog at https://www.plantbaseddrjules.com/blog You can also watch my educational videos on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMpkQRXb7G-StAotV0dmahQCheck out my upcoming live events and free eCourse, where you'll learn more about how to create delicious plant-based recipes: https://www.plantbaseddrjules.com/Go follow me on social media by visiting my Facebook page and Instagram accountshttps://www.facebook.com/plantbaseddrjuleshttps://www.instagram.com/plantbased_dr_jules/Last but not least, the best way to show your support and to help me spread my message is to subscribe to my podcast and to leave a 5 star review on Apple and Spotify!Thanks so much!Peace, love, plants!Dr. Jules

In this episode of the JACC: Asia podcast, Editor-in-Chief Jian'an Wang examines a study which explores the genetic links between lipid levels and type 2 diabetes risk in the Chinese population, using data from the Quinson community cohort. The findings suggest that lower genetic risk scores for LDL-C and triglycerides are associated with a higher risk of diabetes, highlighting the need for personalized lipid management strategies, especially in light of the potential risks of long-term APOC inhibitor use.

In this podcast, expert clinicians will discuss the latest recommendations to assess cardiovascular risk, residual risk, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) goals for therapy.  https://healio.com/cme/mededtalks/cardiology/20241028/1-lipid-legends-with-your-host-dr-ronald-codario

Jelani Grant and Alexander Razavi drafted notes. CardioNerds Intern Pacey Wetstein engineered episode audio. This episode is part of a case reports series developed in collaboration with the National Lipid Association and their Lipid Scholarship Program, with mentorship from Dr. Daniel Soffer and Dr. Eugenia Gianos. A classic finding in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia is the presence of markedly elevated levels of total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) with an LDL-C concentration of 190 mg/dL or greater. However, severe hypercholesterolemia is not inevitably present, and many patients who carry this diagnosis may have lower LDL-C levels. This case history describes a young woman whose mother and brother met clinical and genetic criteria for heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia but who had only a mild elevation in LDL-C, falling to 130 mg/dL after dietary intervention. Despite this finding, genetic testing revealed the presence of the same genetic variants as were noted in her mother and brother. In addition, a second genetic variant predisposing them to cholesterol gallstone formation was identified in all three family members. If genetic testing had not been performed, the diagnosis may have been missed or delayed, resulting in an increased risk for vascular complications associated with familial hypercholesterolemia. This case supports the value of genetic testing of family members of those with familial hypercholesterolemia, even when LDL-C levels are not severely elevated.

Pearls - Exposing an Unusual Presentation of Familial Hypercholesterolemia – National Lipid Association Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is among the most common autosomal co-dominant genetic conditions (approximately 1:200 to 1:300 for HeFH, 1:160,000 to 1:300,000 for HoFH). Genetic testing has a role for all first-degree relatives when a family history of FH is strongly suggestive, regardless of LDL-C level. Heterogeneity in ASCVD risk among individuals with FH is derived from background polygenic risk, clinical risk factors (e.g., timing of lipid-lowering initiation and adjacent risk factors), as well as subclinical atherosclerosis burden. In clinical or genetically confirmed FH, an LDL-C goal of 55 mg/dL is recommended. Beyond statins, FDA-approved non-statin therapies for FH include ezetimibe, PCSK9 mAb, bempedoic acid, inclisiran, evolocumab (only HoFH), lomitapide (only HoFH), and LDL apheresis.

A new study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association explores the effects of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) on cholesterol and heart health. Researchers found that both high and low usage of EVOO in the diet were linked to reductions in LDL-C, the "bad" cholesterol associated with heart disease. But during a 4-week carryover period, an interesting twist was revealed. Listen in this week as Dee discusses the results of the study, it's pros and cons, and how it could impact your health.Reference: Krenek, A. M., Mathews, A., Guo, J., Courville, A. B., Pepine, C.

Dave Feldman is the founder of the Citizen Science Foundation and is known for his research into the ketogenic diet. Dave is a software engineer by training who embraced a ketogenic diet to avoid his progression toward type 2 diabetes. he joins us on this episode of STEM-Talk to share that journey. After undertaking the high-fat/low-carbohydrate diet, Dave' LDL cholesterol spiked. Dave used his training as an engineer to start learning everything he could about cholesterol and lipids. What he learned led him to create the website Cholesterol Code, a research hub for information and emerging data on cholesterol, particularly in the context of a low-carbohydrate lifestyle. Dave's Citizen Science Foundation is designed to support projects and research that promote collaborative efforts across multiple disciplines, both in and outside formal scientific institutions. Show notes: [00:02:53] Dawn opens the interview asking Dave what he was like as a kid. [00:03:44] Dawn mentions that Dave divided his time as a child between Denver and Wichita due to his parents' divorce and asks Dave what the best part of his childhood was. [00:04:28] Ken mentions that Dave has described both his parents as graphic artists and Bohemian, “hippie spirit” types. Ken asks what he learned from them that fueled his interests and goals. [00:05:46] Ken asks about Dave's first computer, which was a Commodore 64, as well as his early experience with computers. [00:08:50] Dawn mentions that Dave's interest in computers came in a time before the internet and asks what he learned about computing in those days. [00:10:51] Dawn explains that since Dave grew up in the 1980s, there was not much in the way of computer science curriculum in schools and asks Dave how he supported his interest in programming. [00:12:33] Ken asks Dave about how self-directed learning has been a theme throughout his whole life. [00:14:35] Dawn asks Dave about his childhood hobbies, including running and competitive storytelling. [00:17:01] Ken asks how Dave's experiences in forensic debate in high school helped his career later in life. [00:18:56] Dawn mentions that Dave initially attended film school and asks if it is true that Dave's side hustle of doing contract software work overtook his original plan to graduate. [00:20:49] Dawn asks about Dave's experiences working in the game platform development business in Las Vegas, as well as what these experiences taught him. [00:22:23] Ken asks Dave about a “the piece of paper” that Dave says changed his life in 2015. [00:28:58] Ken follows up, asking Dave if he checked his LDL-P or his ApoB at the same time as his cholesterol levels. [00:30:37] Ken mentions that he knows some people that when consuming a ketogenic diet did not see a substantial increase in LDL-C, but did experience a substantial elevation of LDL-P. [00:35:03] Ken pivots to discuss a paper that Dave and others published in Current Developments in Nutrition in 2022 titled: “Elevated LDL Cholesterol with a Carbohydrate-Restricted Diet: Evidence for Lean Mass Hyper-Responder Phenotype.” Ken asks Dave to describe what it means to be a lean mass hyper-responder. [00:40:19] Ken mentions his caution against the term lean mass hyper-responder, as it is unclear what “lean mass” refers to in this case. Ken goes on to say that while the lean mass hyper-responder phenotype can be objectively measured in terms of LDL, HDL and triglyceride levels, the lean mass aspect is often measured in these studies with BMI, which is unable to measure body composition. Ken asks Dave what his thoughts are on this and if he would like the possibility of moving away from BMI and towards DEXA scans. [00:43:37] Ken mentions that Dave's original article describing the lean mass hyper-responder phenotype has received a lot of response from individuals claiming to fall into that category. While it is difficult to get a precise estimate of the popul...

Cholesterol-lowering medications, particularly statins, play a pivotal role in reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and apolipoprotein B (apoB) concentrations, which are causal markers in atherosclerosis development. The efficacy of these medications is well-documented, with numerous clinical trials demonstrating substantial benefits in reducing cardiovascular events and improving overall mortality rates. Despite the robust evidence supporting the benefits of cholesterol-lowering medications, there are various misconceptions and misunderstandings regarding their use. One common myth is that these drugs are unnecessary for those without overt cardiovascular symptoms, ignoring the preventative benefits for at-risk individuals. Concerns about side effects, such as muscle pain, liver damage, and cognitive impairment, are often exaggerated. While side effects are possible, they are typically mild and manageable. Regular monitoring and adjustments by healthcare providers can help mitigate any adverse effects, ensuring that the benefits of reducing LDL-C and apoB far outweigh the risks. In this episode, preventative cardiologist Dr. Paddy Barrett discusses the different types of lipid-lowering medications, their mechanisms of action, the side effects that may occur, and the misconceptions about the drugs that are unfortunately widespread.

Case Synopsis FH, a 9-year-old female with no previous medical history, recently moved back to the US from Iraq. She presented to establish care and discuss new-onset chest pain and dyspnea. A systolic ejection murmur was noted during her initial visit to the pediatrician, prompting cholesterol testing and a cardiology referral. Testing revealed, alarming cholesterol levels (Total Cholesterol: 802 mg/dL, LDL: 731 mg/dL, Triglycerides: 123 mg/dL) prompted concern for cardiac involvement. Due to persistent symptoms, FH was transferred to Children's Hospital of Michigan. Despite normal findings on EKG and chest x-ray, a 2/6 systolic murmur was noted. She was discharged with a cardiology clinic follow-up. However, two days later, FH experienced severe chest pain at rest, sweating, and difficulty breathing. She was transported to Children's Hospital again, and her troponin level measured 3000, and her total cholesterol was 695 mg/dL. An echocardiogram revealed valvar and supravalvar aortic stenosis, necessitating collaboration between Pediatric and Adult cardiology teams. CTA thorax revealed severe supravalvular stenosis, a hypoplastic right coronary artery, and significant coronary artery obstructions. Diagnostic cardiac catheterization confirmed severe aortic stenosis and coronary artery disease, leading to the decision for surgical intervention. FH underwent the Ross operation, left main coronary artery augmentation, and right coronary artery reimplantation. Intraoperatively, atherosclerotic plaques were observed in multiple cardiac structures. FH's recovery was uneventful, discharged on a regimen including Atorvastatin, Ezetimibe, evolocumab, and antiplatelet therapy. Persistent high LDL levels required regular plasmapheresis. Plans for evaluations in Genetics, Lipid Clinic, Endocrine, and Gastroenterology were made, potentially leading to a liver transplant assessment. Given the severity of her condition, a heart/liver transplant might be considered in the future. Conclusion: This case of FH highlights the complex presentation of severe aortic stenosis and coronary artery disease in a pediatric patient. Urgent diagnosis, interdisciplinary collaboration, and aggressive management were crucial. The case underscores the importance of comprehensive care for pediatric patients with rare cardiac conditions, emphasizing collaboration between specialties for optimal outcomes and long-term well-being. Case Media Pearls - Familial Hypercholesterolemia Mutations in LDLR, ApoB, or PCSK9 genes disrupt LDL-C clearance, leading to a cascade of events culminating in accelerated atherosclerosis and early-onset cardiovascular complications (e.g., CAD, aortic stenosis, PAD, stroke).

This three part series consists of 3 cases that illustrate important concepts in managing patients with familial hypercholesterolemia, patients with hyperlipidemia and cardiometabolic comorbidities, and patient with South Asian descent with increased risk of ASCVD and a history of percutaneous Intervention. The cases are designed to be quick and offer high-level takeaways and pearls.   In this podcast, experts will discuss the following case: A 62-Year-Old Diabetic Woman with an LDL-C of 53 mg/dL 

A 22-year follow-up study involving 177,000 individuals reveals that low LDL cholesterol is associated with higher cardiovascular-specific mortality. The authors of this study write, "...the lowest risk for long-term mortality appears to exist in the wide LDL-C range of 100–189 mg/dL, which is much higher than current recommendations."

Duvyzat for DMD: The FDA approved givinostat (Duvyzat) for patients 6 years or older with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a rare neuromuscular condition. Givinostat is an HDAC inhibitor that mitigates muscle damage and slows disease progression. Approval was based on the EPIDYS trial results, granted to Italfarmaco S.p.A. Spevigo for Psoriasis: Spesolimab-sbzo (Spevigo) received FDA approval for treating generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) in adults and pediatric patients, expanding its indication from initial approval for GPP flares. As the first targeted therapy for GPP, it acts as an IL-36 receptor antagonist. The expanded approval was based on the Effisayil 2 trial, showing significant reduction in GPP flares. Tryvio for Hypertension: The FDA approved aprocitentan (Tryvio) in combination with other antihypertensive drugs for adults not adequately controlled on other medications, marking it as the first new oral antihypertensive therapy pathway in nearly 40 years. Based on the PRECISION trial, aprocitentan was shown to be effective in patients with resistant hypertension. Opsynvi for PAH: Macitentan and tadalafil (Opsynvi) was approved by the FDA for adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and WHO functional class II-III, as the first once-daily single-tablet combination therapy for PAH. The approval was based on the A DUE study, demonstrating greater reduction in pulmonary vascular resistance compared to monotherapies. Lenmeldy for Juvenile Metachromatic Leukodystrophy: The FDA approved Lenmeldy (atidarsagene autotemcel) gene therapy for children with metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD), a rare genetic disease affecting the brain and nervous system. The therapy uses the patient's own genetically modified stem cells to produce the missing enzyme. Approval was based on significant improvements in survival, mobility, and cognitive functions observed in clinical trials and an expanded access program.

Dive into an enthralling new episode at the Kahn Center this week, where Dr. Joel Kahn delves into groundbreaking research on Lipoprotein(a). He reveals that, particle for particle, it's significantly more atherogenic than LDL-cholesterol. However, given the higher prevalence of LDL-C particles, focusing on reducing LDL-C remains crucial. Next, Dr. Kahn explores an intriguing study on using high doses of vitamin K2 and D3 to slow down coronary artery calcification. The episode's highlight is the exciting research on a New Zealand-based product, Calocurb, and its potential to reduce appetite and calorie intake. This discovery is particularly noteworthy as the mechanism mirrors that of injectable drugs like Wegovy and Mounjaro, but Calocurb is available as an affordable oral capsule. Dr. Kahn shares his personal experiences with Calocurb, detailing its impact on his mealtime routines.

This is a Premium-exclusive episode, so here you'll only hear a preview. In order to listen to the full episode you'll need to subscribe to Sigma Nutrition Premium. About This Episode: It has been clearly demonstrated that elevated LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C), or perhaps more specifically pro-atherogenic lipoproteins, is causal in atherosclerosis development in humans. One crucial concept within this is that the risk relates not only to the magnitude of elevated LDL-C, but the duration of exposure. Thus, the role of LDL-C in driving atherosclerosis is referred to as a “cumulative, integrated exposure over the lifecourse”. But, what exactly does this mean? In this episode, Danny discusses the cumulative exposure model of LDL-C in atherosclerosis, the evidence supporting it, and the implications of this for the “debates” that get raised in relation to LDL-C (or apoB-containing lipoproteins) and heart disease.

She has stable angina symptoms that are well controlled with metoprolol tartrate 25 mg BID and are not lifestyle limiting. She takes aspirin 81 mg daily and atorvastatin 40 mg daily. Her LDL-C is 70 mg/dL, hemoglobin A1c is 7.0%, and eGFR is >60. In clinic, her BP is 118/80 mmHg. What is the next step in management?AIncrease atorvastatin for goal LDL-C < 55 mg/dLBNo change in managementCAdd isosorbide mononitrate 30 mg dailyDStop aspirinEStart a sulfonylurea Answer #30 Explanation The correct answer is A – increase atorvastatin for goal LDL-C < 55 mg/dL.In patients with established ASCVD, the ESC guidelines advocate for an LDL goal of < 55 mg/dL with at least a 50% reduction from baseline levels (Class I, LOE A). This patient has stable angina which is not lifestyle limiting; as such, further anti-anginal therapy is not necessary. She has known CAD with prior PCI, so aspirin therapy is appropriate for secondary prevention (Class I, LOE A). There is no indication for a sulfonylurea as her diabetes is well controlled. Notably, in persons with type 2 DM and ASCVD, the use of a GLP-1RA or SGLT2 inhibitor with proven outcome benefits is recommended to reduce CV and/or cardiorenal outcomes (Class I, LOE A).Main TakeawayFor people with established ASCVD, the ESC-recommended LDL-C goal is < 55 mg/dL with a goal reduction of at least 50%.Guideline Loc.Section 6.1 CardioNerds Decipher the Guidelines - 2021 ESC Prevention SeriesCardioNerds Episode PageCardioNerds AcademyCardionerds Healy Honor RollCardioNerds Journal ClubSubscribe to The Heartbeat Newsletter!Check out CardioNerds SWAG!Become a CardioNerds Patron!

On this episode, we go over a pharmacotherapy plan for a patient with sickle cell disease, HFrEF, DM2, dyslipidemia, hypertension, POAG, dry eye disease, constipation, GERD, and OSA. Episode 227 Patient Case Information 57-year-old male with sickle cell disease, HFrEF, DM2, dyslipidemia, hypertension, POAG, dry eye disease, constipation, GERD, and OSA comes to your clinic to establish care. His primary concern is the number of sickle cell crisis he has been experiencing (3 ER visits in the last 5 months). He is having significant constipation daily due to his maintenance opioid regimen.  He also reports difficulty controlling his blood glucose. He has experienced 6 hypoglycemic events (BG range between 65 and as low as 42) and is confused as to what he is doing wrong with managing his diabetes. He is also concerned because he is having vivid nightmares almost every night. He also asks about the best artificial tears to get OTC because his Refresh Optive (carboxymethylcellulose) doesn't seem to be working anymore. Medication List: Losartan 100 mg daily, atenolol 50 mg daily, torsemide 20mg – 4 tabs daily, metolazone 2.5 mg 2 times per week, amlodipine 5 mg daily, simvastatin 40 mg daily, fenofibrate 160 mg daily, lantus 40 units twice daily, humalog 5 units with meals if his pre-meal BG is > 150 mg/dL, metformin ER 500 mg twice daily, hydroxyurea 500 mg – two capsules daily (admits to limited adherence), latanoprost 0.005% nightly, esomeprazole 40 mg twice daily, famotidine 40 mg daily, MiraLax 17 grams daily, and bisacodyl 5 mg daily He has a CPAP at home but admits to using it very infrequently. BMP BP – 165/89 HR – 82 Na – 137 K – 3.6 Cl – 102 CO2 – 26 Glucose – 253 eGFR – 95 mL/min Ca – 8.9 Mg – 1.9 Lipid Profile Chol – 162 LDL-C – 99 HDL-C – 49 Triglycerides  - 242 Echo with EF – 32% B-Type Natriuretic Peptide – 56.2 Vitamin B12 – 367 Hemoglobin – 7.2 Hematocrit – 20.8 MCV – 98.6 Ferritin – 1491.6 (received blood transfusion 2 weeks ago) Thanks for listening!

View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter In this “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) episode, Peter answers questions related to the leading cause of death in both men and women—atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). He highlights the most important risk factors for ASCVD, such as apoB, LDL, hyperinsulinemia, and Lp(a), and explains the mechanism by which they confer risk and how these factors are interrelated. Peter also dives deep into the data around apoB to try to answer the question of how much residual risk is conferred for ASCVD through metabolic dysfunction once you correct for apoB. He also looks at the data around lifetime risk reduction of ASCVD in the context of low apoB. If you're not a subscriber and are listening on a podcast player, you'll only be able to hear a preview of the AMA. If you're a subscriber, you can now listen to this full episode on your private RSS feed or our website at the AMA #42 show notes page.

We discuss: A racecar analogy for understanding atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease [2:00]; Defining and differentiating apoB and LDL-C [10:00]; The interrelated nature of insulin levels, apoB, triglycerides, and ASCVD parameters [13:00]; Another way that hyperinsulinemia plays a role in endothelial dysfunction [18:00]; Why Peter uses the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) with all patients [20:15]; Is there any evidence that hyperinsulinemia is an independent contributor to ASCVD? [23:00]; Thinking through risk in the context of high-fat diets resulting in improved metabolic metrics but with an elevation of apoB/LDL-C [27:30]; Thinking through risk in the context of low apoB but higher than normal triglyceride levels [32:15]; The importance of lowering apoB for reducing ASCVD risk [38:15]; Data on men and women with familial hypercholesterolemia that demonstrates the direct impact of high apoB and LDL-C on ASCVD risk [47:45]; Importance of starting prevention early, calcium scores, and explaining causality [52:30]; Defining Lp(a), its impact on ASCVD risk, and what you should know if you have high Lp(a) [56:30]; Lp(a) and ethnic differences in risk [1:00:30]; Why someone with elevated Lp(a) should consider being more aggressive with apoB lowering strategies [1:05:00]; Addressing the common feeling of hesitancy to taking a pharmacologic approach to lower ASCVD risk [1:07:15]; Peter's take on the 2022 Formula 1 season and thoughts on 2023 [1:15:15]; and More.

I've long recommended limiting your saturated fat intake to no more than 10% of your total daily calories. Some people disagree with this, though. In fact, a popular position these days is that saturated fat is a “superfood” and you can eat as much as you want if it's from certain unprocessed foods. Is that true? What does science say? Does saturated fat cause cardiovascular disease? Is saturated fat from unprocessed food like meat and dairy “good” or “bad”? Find out in this podcast. I've written and recorded a lot of evidence-based content over the years on just about everything you can imagine related to building muscle, losing fat, and getting healthy. I've also worked with thousands of men and women of all ages and circumstances and helped them get into the best shape of their lives. That doesn't mean you should blindly swallow everything I say, though, because let's face it—nobody is always right about everything. And especially in fields like diet and exercise, which are constantly evolving thanks to the efforts of honest and hardworking researchers and thought leaders. This is why I'm always happy to hear from people who disagree with me, especially when they have good arguments and evidence to back up their assertions. Sometimes I can't get on board with their positions, but sometimes I end up learning something, and either way, I always appreciate the discussion. That gave me the idea for this series of podcast episodes: publicly addressing things people disagree with me on and sharing my perspective. Think of it like a spicier version of a Q&A. So, here's what I'm doing: Every couple of weeks, I'm asking my Instagram followers what they disagree with me on, and then picking the more common or interesting contentions to address here on the podcast. And in this episode, I'll be tackling the following . . . Saturated fat in unprocessed foods like beef and dairy is healthy.
