Just came across this and watched the whole thing. very well done and informative

Great talk, I found it very informative.

My LDL has always been between 115-130mg/dL, HDL 42-52, Trigly 47-65, Try/HDL ~1-1.3, NO STATIN, always a veggie person (asian indian), 62 yrs, BMI ~23, D2M, A1c always between 6 to 6.3 for 23 yrs. No symptoms, hiked all sorts of mountains, climbs 500-1000 steps with no issues. Recently did a CAC although my primary doc said he doesn't believe in the score. What is my CAC score? 2900. Almost all vessels are calcified. Left main 74, LAD-612, LCX-937, RCA-503, PDA-766. I am going to start STATIN & based on above lecture I am hopeful that my plaques are all stabalized due to extensive calcification. Now, why this happened? I think it is because of inflammation although I have no clue why I had high inflammation. My hs-CRP numbers were between 3 & 4.5 for 5 years consitantly about 10-15 yrs back. In the last 6 months, I started taking fish tablets and this brought down my hs-CRP to 2. Will Statins bring this to <0.5? Not sure, but I will work on this

@47.00 - I think CIMT still has advantages as it is low/no radiation. Even though CT may offer more precision, it is expensive and the contrast could be very painful ..

Hmm for some reason I can not get the video to play.

With this being fairly new info I don’t understand the CAC score reference here. It’s my understanding that scores range from 0 to over 2000, not 1000.

CAC and balls. Just says C A C.

This video is almost unwatchable due to how many times he says “CAC”. I love cardiac, but holy smokes…that sounds awful.

This guy Jay appears to be bored. His ho-hum presentation leaves much to be desired... and explained. Needs to a better job explaining.
