I am living proof (thank God) of the risks associated with heart cath Dr Ovadia spoke of. Back in 2018, after being diagnosed with congestive heart failure, my cardiaologist ordered a cath. A day and a half after the cath, I suffered a stroke. Being in a rural area, I was taken to Denver on an air ambulance. Thanks to the care there, I walked out of that hospital 4 days later with little lingering effects. Everything cleared up in a week. The risks are real.

I have heard others indicate (Dr. Ford Brewer, for one) that calcium is the indication of a stable plaque, that the most dangerous plaques are the soft ones that haven't calcified yet, and that because of this a CAC score can increase due to plaque stabilization. Would love to hear these doctors address that, specifically.

@lisabroman3333 19 күн бұрын

Exactly, I was wondering about this as well!

@trail.blazer 19 күн бұрын

It is well established that what you have described is correct. Most people that have calcification will still have some soft plaques. It is common for the CAC score to subsequently increase after treatment begins, which is generally a good thing. Some people have then been able to reduce their CAC scores and attempting that should be after calcification has increased together with that stabilisation. Treatment can include diet, lifestyle, supplements and/or medications.

I'm 6 month carnivore. I was in an ICU ward because of status epelepticus. It took about 3 days or more for a neurologist to wake me up. During that time I had a heart attack. My body was over using energy while unconscious and my body was temporarily paralyzed probably because of how the over use of energy being used. I was told I'm lucky to be alive and that while still unconscious at the start the neurologist said if I will ever get to wake up my brain would be in a state of a vegetable. Would it definitely be the status epelepticus that caused the heart attack not the LDL? I was prescribed a statin but refused to take it. Because my triglycerides are low I'm happy with the result but they want me on statins. They can throw their statins in the rubbish bin!

My belief was that if you put two cac scans side by side a year or 2 apart the main aim is to not have any new plaques formed, in most instances the plaques will increase no matter how good your diet is. Ford brewer sees plaque increasing and many others who look at all these scans regularly. Arthur Agaston also says not creating new plaques in different areas is the goal.

This says a ton about how backasswards our medical system has become. I discovered my high CAC score by going out on my own to get it done, no physician recommendation because I am metabolically healthy, not overweight at all, and have always been quite active with hard physical labor for work. Anyway, so I wanted to find out more after getting the CAC, but the ONLY thing the Dr. advised was the statin and baby aspirin. So I said no to the statin and because of that the Dr. WILL NOT TEST FURTHER. Well, I was kinda shocked. It’s like, take a statin or simply be left wondering if i have soft plaque that might cause a problem. It’s crazy that I’m TRYING to help myself before I have a heart attack and the so called cardiologist experts I’ve seen instantly just go to the pharmacy. I guess I’ll try to get a CTA exam on my own too. Very frustrating and scary when I can’t even rely on the Dr. to initiate any further testing 😢 TAKE A STATIN OR HIT THE ROAD-LUDICROUS!!!

Great interview with Dr. Ovadia. The question that I have is where can I look to find a cardiologist who takes metabolic health into consideration and doesn't just push statins? I live in New Jersey, and all of the different cardiologists that I've learned about are not accessible to me due to distance. Is there any type of directory of "metabolic cardiologists" available?

There are a few listed on the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners website

So if we don't blame saturated fat for heart disease, what about things like Peripheral Artery Disease in say the legs in a non diabetic non smoker. I say non diabetic but most everybody with a SAD diet would have some measurable degree of diabetes eventually.

@FrankWings 19 күн бұрын

That is correct. You may not be diabetic, but if you keep a SAD diet, and keep on eating carbohydrates, you will have insulin resistance. That will be the main metabolic factor for cardiovascular disease

I had a Lifeline screening last year but it focused on aneurysms not plaque. I'm not sure it measured what I thought I needed.

I'm desperate for Dr. Cywes, Dr. Ovadia or another like-minded doctor to talk about statins for people with significant CVD/plaque build up. I need to have a triple bypass. The damage has already been done. I desperately don't want to take the high dose statins. I want to go healthy, low carb diet and eliminate the inflammation. I don't know what to do.

My cardiologist says I have to take a statin because I have a stent. Can you tell me if I need to take a statin solely because I have a stent? I’ve had the stent for 6 years now, since 2018. I took a statin for the first year then stopped taking it. Should I resume taking a statin? Triglycerides 138; Cholesterol 180; HDL 32; LDL Calculated 122; Non HDL 148. I’m 67 265 lbs. Weight training 3 days/week 50-60 min. Cycling 1-2 times per week 7-10 miles each.

I failed the stress test due to an unknown issue that was later determined to be a myocardial bridge, but my CAC is 0 and no detectable soft plaque burden. I’m a 40-something male and have been a lifelong athlete, have run marathons, HIIT, and resistance training. Any views on how to think about that bridge risk?

Dr. Ovadia I want to call your office and get a consultation. My calcium score was 120 and I had a small nodule in my lower left lung so I began researching and I found the carnivore diet and I have managed to lose all body fat including from areas that I could not lose it from since I began eating so many carbs. Anyway,I contued to eat dark chocolate candy bars and Cheesecakes have been in my diet until my last CT score where my score is now supposedly 186 however she said my blood pressure was 168 and that was my walking and standing blood pressure. I am just wondering if it went up because I didn't really change until I started learning what to eat. I need to know the best supplements I need to get and take . I am just taking Tumeric, Niacin, Fish oil just ran out of K2 and I take 5,000 iu of D3. I also just ran out of Cayenne. I am ordering some Nattokinaise soon. Do I need further test . Do you take insurance at your clinic Dr. Ovadia.

You don't need supplements, you need to eliminate the sugar and any carbs, ie grains... Read No Grain, No Pain by Dr Peter Osborne. He also has videos with more info on YT, even discussing supplements... I would add Wild Caught Fish to your diet. Because you never know where those fish oil supplements came from...
