I always knew I had a high susceptibility to heart disease, family history, high blood lipids, borderline high blood pressure and an A1C that was high normal. I tried several statins with terrible side effects, so I have been on a WFPB SOS free diet for many years. It helped my lipids, but they were always still above normal. I kept my bmi at 20, and exercise daily. But at 69 it caught up with me! 3 weeks ago I had a big heart attack, fortunately, I got to the hospital quickly and with a wonderful cardiologist I had 4 stents placed and removal of a large blood clot. I’m starting to feel better now, I can take slow walks, and do housework and cooking. I’m doing well on a new statin that doesn’t cause me pain, and Zetia, blood thinners and beta blockers. And I’m feeling pretty grateful to still be here. I’m embracing modern medicine and hope to get some more years ahead of me. I just want to say lifestyle for some of us won’t get us into old age. But it’s probably going to help me get back to a normal life again quickly. ❤️

@@carlbernngl I was vegan for 10 years, but WFPB, SOS free for 7. I haven’t eaten red meat for 35 years, and was mostly on a low fat diet for 30 years ever since I read Dean Ornish’s work. I was also a nurse so I understood what my lipids and family history meant. I’m feeling pretty lucky to be here now. I’ve been able to find some statins that I can tolerate and now I’m on blood thinners and beta blockers. But I learned the hard way, that for some of us, diet alone isn’t a sure thing. But I still follow the WFPB SOS free diet too.

Yeah, how can people expect to undo a lifetime of damage within a few years? Plus, some of us are cursed with terrible genetics. CVD runs in my family. I'm vegan for ethical reasons, and I am not SOS-free; I don't eat processed stuff, and that's about it. I like vegetable oils (such as olive oil); they make me glow (weird, right?). I almost wrecked my liver with a terrible sedentary lifestyle. I went SOS-free for 4 weeks and walked for 1 hour a day, and things are back to normal. My SGPT went from 70 to 16 (I was shocked). But since I'm really young (18), I think I can change and be in better health than most who choose to change at a later stage in life..

Hey Gil! Thank you for your content. I just wanted to give you a little tip coming from someone who’s a sound engineer and who consumes your content mostly on earphones or in the car. You might want to compress your voice a bit to reduce the dynamic range. Currently, there are some quiet parts and some dramatic spikes in volume when you speak louder. This makes it a bit challenging to listen to comfortably, as I have to keep the volume low to avoid the louder parts hurting my ears. A little compression can help balance out the volume levels, making your videos more enjoyable for listeners in varying environments. Thanks again for all the valuable information you provide!

In case Gil does not know how to easily and quickly fix this (as i wouldn't), are you able to instruct at all? I'm not making any assumptions on behalf of Gil, at all, but just in case Gil doesn't have the time or the immediate fix, is it something you can easily relay in a general way that could be applied to any setup? Thanks for sharing your audio skills.

Hi Doctor Carvalho! I want you to know how much I appreciate the evidence-based approach you take to your videos. In a world where others shout their pet theories and diets from the rooftops, a voice like yours is sorely needed. Your channel is the home of sober second thought, the Senate of KZfaq. It's not that there's nothing to what these others say. Much or most of it is supported by evidence, but they will casually mention that high cholesterol is good without attribution, for example. They say the best lie is hidden between two truths. I'm not necessarily suggesting that these others are malicious, but we need to be cautious about applying things we hear from the internet to our own lives. In this you are very helpful. Your channel is severely underrated by my way of thinking, but thanks for doing all this. Cheers from Canuckistan!

Would love a discussion re gender differences. Isn’t the efficacy of statins quite a bit lower for women, and, if yes, then why? The menopause transition dramatically raises LDL, thereby creating dyslipidemia. Does the increased need for cholesterol in estrodial production play a factor? Should it be treated differently given the difference in causation? Really appreciate your ability to tactfully clarify and then create synopses of complex issues!! Thank you!!!

the reason cholesterol goes up after menopause is because it's used to make sex hormone and it is no longer doing that. I don't worry about it but my friends my age are all being told to eat low fat by their doctors. it's ridiculous. the main thing after menopause is don't overeat - stick to energy requirements, and exercise a lot. fat itself isn't going to 'cause' a heart attack when eating within a calorie controlled energy intake. it's so important to ditch the extra junk and know your calories after menopause. no one talks about energy intake - they just say 'switch to low fat milk and limit animal fats' but the low fat stuff (carbs) cause terrible health issues when consumed to excess - the limit should be on refined carbs!!!

This is the perfect illustration for cholesterol deniers... They see valid evidence that factors impacting metabolic health have an impact on heart disease (e.g. trig/HDL ratio as a loose proxy for insulin sensitivity) and they insist that is the ONLY factor, thereby failing to see that two things can be true at the same time. Metabolic factors MODIFY risk, and sometimes with great effect, but there is still an underlying etiology that involves ApoB in a causal chain based on exposure over time.

Dr William Cromwell (on the podcast with TheProof) said that in fact apo-b lipoproteins enter AND exit the artery wall by transcytosis (probably the incorrect spelling). Thus, the body wants them to pass through. The issue seems to be that some of them somehow get oxidized and as a result are unable to be transported out again. This is very different from Dr Dayspring’s description of apo-b ‘crashing into the artery wall’. If Dr Cromwell is right, then working out how they get oxidized might be a better way of preventing CVD

The importance of cardiovascular health cannot be overstated, and three critical exams play a pivotal role in assessing and managing heart disease risk: the CT Angiogram, CIMT, and Calcium Score. CT Angiogram (Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography - CCTA): This non-invasive imaging test provides detailed pictures of the coronary arteries. It helps in detecting blockages or narrowing in the arteries, which can lead to serious conditions such as heart attacks. By visualizing the coronary arteries, doctors can make informed decisions about the need for further intervention or treatment. CIMT (Carotid Intima-Media Thickness): CIMT measures the thickness of the inner two layers of the carotid artery. Increased thickness can indicate a higher risk of cardiovascular events like stroke and heart attack. This test is crucial for early detection of atherosclerosis, allowing for timely preventive measures. Calcium Score (Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring): This test quantifies the amount of calcium in the walls of the coronary arteries. A higher calcium score is indicative of a higher risk of coronary artery disease. By identifying the presence and extent of calcified plaque, healthcare providers can better stratify patients' risk and guide treatment to prevent cardiac events. Together, these exams offer a comprehensive assessment of cardiovascular health, enabling early intervention and tailored treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes.

Thankyou. That was a really usefull mental model that allows understanding of complex, interacting factors. [Note: I made an edit from useless to the correct word, "useful". I am unclear how auto-incorrect can change "useful" to "useless", but it did.] Maybe it would be additionally useful to explicitly discuss oxidative stress as a major domain weakening the bullet barrier? This would allow consideration of contributors such as obstructive sleep apnea, antioxidant poor diets, low vitamin D, dysbiosis, pollution (PM2.5), etc. Chronically elevated ROS levels (and factors that prevent this) can be discussed in terms of platelet activation (etc) contributing to contractile smooth muscle cell (SMC) activation -> migratory/ secretory SMCs that migrate to the intima and synthesise proteoglycans. Which, then allow 'capture' of postprandial remnant cholesterol. As the presenter mentioned, generalised inflammation, contributing to arterial plaque formation, is a major domain negatively affecting the bullet wall. One of my lifestyle pathways is determining whether I should use statins. I am aware of studies showing U-shaped all cause mortality curves with a minimum around ~ 3.6 mmol/L (140 mg/dL). My current research is to determine if ... with a CAC score of 1, normal BP, a diet mostly rich in antioxidants, vitD3/K2 (mk5&7) supps, exercise (resistance & walking), gly/NAC to boost glutathione, and good cholesterol (except LDL-C = 135 mg/dL) and apoB levels, intermittent fasting to reduce postprandial remnant cholesterol 'exposure, and now, also reducing exposure to PM2.5 and toxic people ... should I avoid statins. My understanding is that statins certainly have multifactorial benefits for at risk people. But, if the underlying factors leading to arterial inflammation and plaque formation are well managed, does taking statins then result in greater risks e.g. cancer) associated with low LDL-C? Fat and cholesterol are essential for good health. My current view is to avoid statins? Either way, I guess I am betting with my statistical life :)

I've had high cholesterol since my thirties but no one in my family has ever had heart disease, so I refused to take any medications. A few years ago, I was given a thorough cardiovascular exam (the problem turned out to be pleurisy) and the cardiologist said I had the cardiovascular system of a teenager. I also had a CT angiogram last year and my score was zero. I'm in my late sixties and love to eat anything fatty - cream, butter, meat, and vegetable and fish sources of fats. Genetics are the key.

Wrong. 1/3 of people with perfect CAC scores go on to have a heart attack or stroke. Soft plaque doesn't show up on those scans. Saturated animal fats shorten lifespan. It's high correlation in over 120 years of scientific research. 7 countries and Framingham studies.

Nice simple model that would be useful for those less inclined to dwell into the biochemistry mechanics of it all. My one criticism is with respect to diet. Diet IMO is the easiest and most impactful factor people can manipulate before a cardiac event happens. In this factor for those on a Western diet, the most critical item is Sugar (fructose) which is the worst component of a high carbohydrates diet. Fructose consumption directly impacts food cravings, fat storage, hunger (hunger and cravings have two different mechanisms), higher blood pressures (Increase Uric Acid which directly correlates to BP), glucose/insulin rollercoaster... Increase Sugar/Fructose consumption (Which also impacts other Carb consumption) directly tracts with increased rates and severity of most chronic diseases impacting folks in the West since the 1890s when consumption amount began increasing and spreading. Then in the 1970 with the creation of High Fructose Corn Syrup, and even cheaper form of Sugar, we are where we are at today. Cheers

Great video! You said losing bodyfat effects both the components... Do you know if the effects are linier, ie going from 20% bodyfat down to 15% will be the same as 15% down to 10%? Or do the effects (improvements) start to taper off the lower your bf % goes?

You made a fantastic video about alcohol and mandelian randomization, explaining imo very clearly where our level of knowledge is right now. I would personaly love to see a video around the topic of training and heart disease. It sounds like a straight forward thing, but training is actually associated with both sudden cardiac arrest and heart fibrillation. So what do we actually know on the impact of training on different metrics of heart health, perhaps beyond associative studies?

I recently had my bloodwork done, and I was shocked and disappointed at my cholesterol and ApoB levels. They were "good." They were all at what would be considered baseline. However, considering everything I do to keep those levels low, I was disappointed that my numbers were just at baseline good. I've been on a high fiber plant-based vegan diet for 5 years (no vegan junk food), I take Omega-3, psyllium husk, beta glucan supplement, soy protein isolate, I weight train 5 days a week and do a two mile walk on the other two, but my levels were just at baseline. My doctor said, "Well, imagine how bad it could be if you didn't do all that." He's right, and I know he was trying to make me feel better 😂. As of now, he says there's no need to take a statin, but we'd keep monitoring. I'm kind of bummed out how much genetics play into it. All my other risk factors were good, except my red blood cell count was high, but I've always known that about my family history and donate blood every 3 months.

Ive just discovered at the age of 35 that i have Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease. To say I am terrified would be an understatement. I have already switched to WFPB, stopped the smoking etc. The occlusion is 25-40% in 3 arteries. 30-40% in 2 and less than 25 in another. I am hoping that while I cannot turn back time I can do what I can to fight this. But I am not feeling very confident. I will get Apob tested, I am in Portugal if anyone can recommend any good lipidologists or any advice in general. Thanks Dr Gil

I’m assuming the “barrier” is or includes as a large factor the endothelial. You said outside of the genetic lottery there isn’t really a good way to improve its protective factor, but, and this is a segue I thought you were going towards given the recent Esselstyn announcement, aren’t there things like nitric oxide to increase the health & function of it, or is that just a temporary boost and/or not yet proven with large enough RCTs?
@Fearzero
@Fearzero Ай бұрын
Exercise, low fat, sodium and sugar diet, more whole plants. Nitric oxide rich foods have short term benefits but leafy greens contain a lot of L Arginine which activates mTor. You don't want that because it will shorten your lifespan. Too much of anything is bad.

hi, as explained above, although the largest trials with ezetimibe (like IMPROVE-IT) use it on top of statin (for precedent reasons), at least one outcome trial has shown reduction of composite cardiovascular risk with ezetimibe as mono therapy: www.ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.118.039415 (when evaluating efficacy we always want to look at magnitude of reduction of LDL-C/ApoB which predicts risk reduction)

Thx Gil for the info. If someone asked you if a 7 month old baby was just beginning to eat things like eggs, what would you recommended the egg should be fried in? They currently fry in ghee (Saturated Fat) I’m sure that’s not the right thing for a baby based on clinical evidence, but just wanted ur thoughts on this.

Plaque is almost indistinguishable from clots in vessels on CT per a Radiologist. Clots are the a main culprit. Minimize sat fat and estrogenic foods, improve blood flow, lose belly fat, work out. Fasting can help lower Lpa and maybe decrease plaque. Infections can cause clots, take aspirin or similar during flu/infection. Low or 0 CAC can still mean soft plaque is there.

If eating soy causes plaque then why do Japanese people eating a traditional diet live so long eating tofu, natto, rice, and vegetables? "Estrogenic" foods have very little to do with plaque accumulation or clotting and natto is actually a food that reduces clotting. Stop talking nonsense, please.

Fully active matrix gla protein protects the arteries from plaque build-up. To understand how it works, is to know that mgp is found in mice too. Researchers knocked out mgp from mice. They all died within 6 to 8 weeks of age. They all had arteries constricted by plaque and many had burst arteries.

Hi Gil, I have a question. I have a family member who claims their diet and lifestyle gives them a very low risk of heart disease and MACE. However, when I shot them with several bullets as per your model, they still experienced severe negative health outcomes. Is this to be expected, or do you think they are some kind of outlier? Unfortunately, I'm having trouble finding additional volunteers to repeat this experiment with.
