Cholesterol & the Cardiologist: A Real Patient's Numbers & What They Mean
Manage episode 520189909 series 3310873
Cardiologist Dr. Michael Koren is joined by a 35-year-old patient "Tucker" to walk through his cardiovascular numbers and explain what it all means. The doctor explores a lipid profile and an advanced lipid profile from top to bottom, explaining everything from how LDL is calculated to what hs-CRP measures. Along the way, they discuss how diet, exercise, supplements, and medications can affect these numbers, how the numbers relate to your risk of a cardiovascular event (like a heart attack or stroke) and what, if any, interventions should be taken. This real-world-example shows how complex the world of cardiology and lipids is and gives helpful, actionable information based on the numbers you might see.
