Why Does Context Matter with Coronary Calcium, Cholesterol, and Cardiovascular Checks? Ep. 324
Manage episode 501013345 series 3310873
Dr. Michael Koren joins Kevin Geddings to explain how having a conversation with a medical professional who is tuned into your personal situation can help you understand the confusing and sometimes counterintuitive world of medical information. Cardiologist Dr. Koren uses the examples of coronary calcium scores and total cholesterol levels, which must be interpreted in the context of individual factors, such as age and HDL/LDL ratio. They then discuss clinical research and how the experience in a clinical research setting is one of shared knowledge, where medical professionals take the time to explain everything you need to know about your health.
