For years, we've been conditioned to fear cholesterol—especially LDL. But the real problem isn't just LDL itself. The real issue? Inflammation. LDL becomes dangerous when it gets oxidized, triggering arterial damage and plaque buildup. This is why focusing only on total cholesterol or LDL isn't enough. If you really want to understand your true cardiovascular risk, here's what actually matters:

  Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is a genetically determined risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and aortic stenosis. Traditional lipid-lowering therapies have minimal impact on Lp(a), necessitating novel treatments. Zerlasiran, a small-interfering RNA (siRNA), significantly reduces Lp(a) (~85%) by inhibiting hepatic apolipoprotein(a) synthesis via subcutaneous injection. Muvalaplin, an oral small-molecule inhibitor, prevents Lp(a) particle formation, reducing levels by up to 85.8%. Both drugs were well-tolerated in Phase 2 trials, with further studies needed to evaluate cardiovascular event reduction.

Section 1: Introduction (0:00 - 5:30) Dr. Valentin Fuster introduces a special issue on Prevention, covering societal and individual prevention aspects and key cardiovascular risk factors. He highlights issues like medication adherence, obesity, and the need for better education and healthcare systems. Section 2: Prevention in Society (5:30 - 35:30) Adherence to Medications The PURE trial shows low medication adherence (31% at follow-up) across 17 countries, despite technological advancements in diagnostics. Barriers include low health literacy and inadequate healthcare systems. Social Determinants of Health Social deprivation leads to worse cardiovascular outcomes, especially among sexual minorities in the U.S. The editorial calls for more equitable healthcare access and anti-stigma efforts. Environmental Factors: Aircraft Noise Higher aircraft noise exposure is linked to worse heart health, urging noise reduction policies for vulnerable populations. Section 3: Prevention in Individuals (35:30 - 55:30) Sedentary Behavior Even with exercise, high sedentary time (over 10.6 hours a day) increases cardiovascular risk. Reducing sedentary time can significantly lower heart disease risk. Intensive Lifestyle Interventions for Diabetes Weight loss and lifestyle changes improve cardiac biomarkers and reduce cardiovascular risk in type 2 diabetes patients. Section 4: Risk Factor Impacts (55:30 - 1:10:00) Hyperlipidemia & Obesity Hyperlipidemia and obesity management, including medications like semaglutide, play key roles in preventing cardiovascular disease. The 2024 ESC hypertension guidelines are also crucial in risk reduction.

Heute spreche ich mit Dr. Jörg Puchta. Dr. Jörg Puchta ist Endokrinologe, Gynäkologe und Experte für Fettstoffwechselerkrankungen. Er leitet das Hormonzentrum an der Oper und bringt umfassendes Wissen zu Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen sowie deren Prävention und Therapie ein. In diesem Interview haben wir dieses Thema explizit beleuchtet und gehen der Frage auf den Grund, welchen Einfluss Blutfette und genetische Faktoren wie LDL, ApoB und Lipoprotein(a) haben. Wir räumen mit Mythen über Cholesterin auf, betonen die Bedeutung frühzeitiger Diagnostik und diskutieren moderne Therapieansätze wie Pelacarsen. Prävention durch gezielte Blutuntersuchungen und gesunden Lebensstil sind dabei ausschlaggebend.  In dieser Folge sprechen wir u.a. über folgende Themen: Warum ist es ein Mythos, dass der Cholesterinspiegel hauptsächlich durch die Ernährung beeinflusst wird? Welche Rolle spielen HDL und LDL beim Cholesterintransport und warum ist die Unterscheidung zwischen „gut“ und „böse“ irreführend? Warum ist die Verpackung des Cholesterins, insbesondere durch ApoB und Lp(a), entscheidend für das Risiko von Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen? Ab welchem Alter sollte man LDL, ApoB und Lp(a) messen, um frühzeitig Arteriosklerose zu erkennen? Welche genetischen Faktoren beeinflussen LDL und ApoB und wie stark sind diese durch Lebensstil veränderbar? Was macht Lipoprotein(a) so gefährlich und wie hängt es mit erhöhtem Thromboserisiko zusammen? Welche neuen Therapieansätze, wie Pelacarsen, gibt es zur Behandlung von erhöhtem Lipoprotein(a)? Welche Rolle spielen Omega-3-Fettsäuren und ein gesunder Lebensstil bei der Senkung von Triglyceriden und ApoB? Was zeigt die Forschung über die Häufigkeit von erhöhten Lp(a)-Spiegeln in der Bevölkerung und deren Herzinfarktrisiko? Welche Maßnahmen sollten Menschen mit genetisch erhöhtem Lp(a) ergreifen, auch wenn spezifische Therapien fehlen?    Weitere Informationen zu Dr. Jörg Puchta findest du hier: https://www.hormonzentrum-an-der-oper.de/praxis-team/das-team/dr-joerg-puchta.html   Du interessierst dich für Gesunde Langlebigkeit (Longevity) und möchtest ein Leben lang gesund und fit bleiben, dann folge mir auch auf den sozialen Kanälen bei Instagram, TikTok, Facebook oder Youtube. https://www.instagram.com/nina.ruge.official https://www.tiktok.com/@nina.ruge.official https://www.facebook.com/NinaRugeOffiziell https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOe2d1hLARB60z2hg039l9g   Disclaimer: Ich bin keine Ärztin und meine Inhalte ersetzen keine medizinische Beratung.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral. I have a question about fat pads. Like sacral fat pads and the “buffalo humps” specifically. I have read that diet and exercise hardly makes a difference for these. And liposuction seems to be the only thing that comes up to get rid of them. I understand we all store fat differently, but I'm curious about these specifically. Do you know if loss of body fat gets rid of these? Mine have gotten worse over a few years, and despite losing some weight ( maybe not enough yet) these areas don't seem to change. I'm a pretty petite person, but I do have some excess fat I would like to get rid of. This area troubles me and I feel a little hopeless that they don't change even with weight loss. Thank you!   Chelsea: Hi Stephen, thank you for all your helpful information and knowledge. I've recently developed dry crack skin in between my fingers and a lot of bumps on my upper back and shoulders. I can't seem to pop the bumps, it's not like they're pimples. I thought the cracking in between my fingers was potentially a fungus like athletes foot? But I tried yeast infection cream and it didn't seem to help. This might be TMI, but I'm also very itchy in my genitals. However, test results came back negative for yeast infection or STDs. This has all started at the same time. Could it be related to my gut? Is this a histamine response? I recently did a gut and sibo test, I get my results on Thursday. I've had sibo before but I didn't have these symptoms. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!   Kayla: Hi Dr Cabral Thank you for all that you do, your podcasts bring me hope & calmness every time!I am 33 years old, overall good health, hypothyroidism 3.6 TSH, LPa high but all other markers (apo B, triglycerides etc good). I recently got my thermography results “cranial dental/thyroid exam” it shows I still have some inflammation around the sinus, neck, & thyroid resulting in possible nodules, last year I removed 4 cavitations, dead bone (dental surgery) & it seems I may still be infected on my upper left molar, I'm exhausted , I dont think I have the strength for surgery again , every year I do the big 5 labs, and overall my results are always very good since I continually do yearly protocols , I'm not sure what to do anymore, losing hope thyroid, neck inflammation.   Kayla: Hi Dr Cabral, Could you speak more of Lipoprotein A (LPa) blood marker, my LPa is 158 & all my other markers are pretty optimal (ldl, hdl, apo b , triglycerides etc) my question is, what now? How do I live with high LPa if lifestyle “doesn't change the marker level” .. It feels like this will creep up on me, I take omega daily but theres talk about Niacin flush , I just need you to speak more of this I trust your insight & I want to know how to live worry free.   Kellie: Hi Dr. Cabral! My husband really started focusing on improving his health over the past 5 years - annual physicals, routine dentist, exercise bike 30min/day, nicotine-free, homemade meat & veggie meals, etc. The only Rx the last 5 yrs is for HBP (lisinopril-hctz 20-25). He recently went through a Healthy Heart Screening and found out his Calcium Score is 39. Is that permanent or what can he do to get that back to 0?  Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3257 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Pearls - Treating Inflammation Our understanding of the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis has undergone a few iterations from the incrustation hypothesis to the lipid hypothesis to the response-to-injury hypothesis and culminating with our current understanding of the inflammation hypothesis. Both the adaptive and innate immune systems play instrumental roles in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. After adequately controlling classic modifiable risk factors such as blood pressure, dyslipidemia, glucose intolerance, and obesity, systemic inflammation as assessed by CRP can be ascertained as CRP is associated with ~1.8-fold increased risk of cardiovascular events Although the most common side effect of colchicine is gastrointestinal intolerance, colchicine can induce lactose intolerance, so a lactose free diet may help ameliorate colchicine-induced GI symptoms. Anti-inflammatory therapeutics have shown promise in reducing cardiovascular risk but much more is to be learned with ongoing and future basic, translational, and clinical research. Show notes - Treating Inflammation What are the origins of the inflammatory hypothesis? The first hypothesis as to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis was the incrustation hypothesis by Carl Von Rokitansky in 1852. He suggested that atherosclerosis begins in the intima with thrombus deposition.In 1856, Rudolf Virchow suggested the lipid hypothesis whereby high levels of cholesterol in the blood lead to atherosclerosis. He observed inflammatory changes in the arterial walls associated with atherosclerotic plaque growth, called endo-arteritis chronica deformans.In 1977, Russell Ross suggested the response-to-injury hypothesis, that atherosclerosis develops from injury to the arterial wall.In the 1990's the role of inflammation in ASCVD became more recognized. Both the adaptive and innate immune system are critical in atherosclerosis. Lipids and inflammation are synergistic in that lipid exposure is required but they translocate through damaged endothelium which occurs by way of inflammatory cytokines, namely within the NLRP3 inflammasome (IL-1, IL-6 etc.).Smooth muscle cells are also involved. They migrate to the endothelial region and secrete collagen to create the fibrous cap. They can also transform into macrophage-like cells to take up lipids and become foam cells. T, B, and K cells are also part of this milieu. In fact, neutrophils, macrophages and monocytes make up only a small portion of the cells involved in the atherosclerotic process. What are ways to individually optimize one's ASCVD risk?Ensure the patient is on appropriate antiplatelet therapy, lipid lowering therapy, blood pressure is well controlled, and the Hemoglobin A1c is well controlled. Smoking cessation is pivotal.If the patient has an elevated Lipoprotein (a), pursue more aggressive lipid lowering therapy. Targeted therapies may become available in the future. Assess the patient's systemic inflammatory risk as measured by C-Reactive Protein (CRP)

Welcome to The Heart of Innovation. Today, we're talking about a silent killer - a genetic marker called Lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), that can significantly increase the risk of heart attacks and cardiovascular disease. Lp(a) affects 1 in 5 people worldwide, yet most don't even know they have it until it's too late. In fact, Lp(a) can increase heart attack risk by 2-5 times. And many don't know they have it until it's too late, unfortunately. But there may be hope on the horizon. New drug trials are underway that could help address this overlooked condition. Joining us today to discuss what we know, and don't know, about Lp(a) is Dr. Harpreet Bhatia, Associate Professor of Medicine at UC San Diego Health System. We also have a couple of patients here to share their personal journeys with Lp(a).

The study found that high doses of alpcisiran reduced Lp(a) levels by up to 95% during treatment, with a sustained reduction of 27-76% persisting up to 96 weeks after discontinuation, and no new safety concerns emerged.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Ali: Hello Dr.Cabral. Can you please explain low pancreatic elastase on stool test. I have no GI symptoms or diagnosed disease, but out of curiosity ran comprehensive stool analysis, where pancreatic enzymes were low, butyrate producing bacteria were low and a positive h.pylori was found. Can those two be related? What specific food & supplements can I take to increase pancreatic elastase when dealing with h.pylori? Also, what's your stand on clostridium butyricum as a probiotic supplement to increase butyrate production? Thank you     Patrick: Hey dr hope all is well. I know theres certain things you don't like to talk about for certain reasons but i was wondering if you could give some information on getting a tetanus shot. Im 50 and know Its been a while since i have had one. Thanks keep up the great work     Lauren: (Product Review) have you heard of the sanctuary holistic wellness detox? Is it a good option for a detox? Is it normal to see parasites? Or is that too extreme of a detox?     Josh: Good Morning, Re-listening to latest mindpump episode with Dr Stephen Cabral 2332 and he mentions 10 vitality tests but only mentions one that I can find (A full body MRI). Looking to see what the complete list of 10 vitality tests are and if there is any content where this is posted to review. Thanks in advance for any info. Regards, Josh     Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, I am a 63 year old female, not overweight, moderate exercise x3/week. High cholesterol runs in my family and mine's been high since my twenties. I just got my bloods back and total cholesterol is 8.3, HDL 1.5 , LDL6.4, Triglycerides normal. Lipoprotein ratio is 0.89. I have always eaten high carb, lots of sugar. My doctor has insisted on putting me on Statins since an ultrasound of my carotic arteries shows minor very soft plaque, lining within normal limits. I have now cut out sugar and added more fish, meat eggs, Omega 3, magnesium and vitamin D. Now I'm worried that the increased protein especially meat and eggs will raise my cholesterol level further. Would Berberine help for cholesterol? I often have low blood sugar so does that matter?

Dr. Kahn will be leading a group 5-day fasting mimicking diet using PROLON starting Sunday, 8/11/24. You can order PROLON at a discount at www.prolonlife.com/drkahn. Dr. Kahn reviews topics including Lipoprotein(a) and calcium CT scores of zero, aspirin and colon cancer, ezetimibe and liver cancer, plant diets and protein, nuts and beans for brain health, and foods to reduce heart disease. He also discusses a new study about www.fatty15.com available with a discount code KAHN. The main topic features two papers about natural approaches to depression. A study in Australia used lifestyle coaching, and another study in Italy used PROLON; both showed at least comparable results to traditional psychotherapy.

Cardiologist explains why most people have a very deadly lipoprotein but very few ever get it checked. Everything you need to know about lipoprotein a. Lp(a) is 3 to 6 times more atherogenic and one fourth of the population has it, but most don't know and will never get checked! https://dralo.net/links

This week, Dr. Kahn packs a lot of practical information on health and longevity into this "pea-cast." He discusses the longevity plan of Dr. Michael Roizen, a well-known physician and author, including his regular use of the Prolon Fasting Mimicking Diet (www.prolonfmd.com/drkahn). Another study examines the lifestyle habits of the ultra-elderly in China, showing that it matters even at that age to adhere to healthy habits. The importance of mitral annular calcification (MAC) is also presented. Additionally, two controversial topics—cholesterol levels and mortality, as well as protein intake and kidney disease—are discussed. The major topic is the importance of Lipoprotein(a) genetic cholesterol levels and disease progression, both in the coronary arteries and on the aortic valve. You do not want to miss this discussion of great importance for all.
