Cholesterol & the Cardiologist: A Real Patient's Numbers & What They Mean

Send us a text

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.

This podcast is not medical advice, and all personal situations should be discussed with your physician.
