Tell me WHY OH WHY does my local Cardiologist say that h-ATTR amyloidosis is not a form of cardiac disease.

I had a Widow maker and got down to 30% Had a CCM therapy device implanted and I went back up to 45%

That's not a true statement

Is elevated Nt Pro BnP something to worry about? I recently ordered labs and mine came back at 131 and my hematocrit was just slightly elevated as well as my hs-crp at 2.2. I don’t have a doctor or health insurance, I order the tests online and have no one to talk to about them.

Superb narrative

Thank you for this talk!

Wonderful stuff there

Thank you for sharing your story, my son also has this condition and has an ICD and has saved his life. You guys give us hope. Thank you

I lowered my Lp a from 147 nmol/l to 45 after six weeks of 2000 mg Niacin per day.

Very nice presentation!

Another excellent Grand Rounds by MHIF, thanks for sharing!

Damn bro didn't realize u went through this. Love ya brother.

You must work for big pharmaceutical companies, Pushing staten Drugs on your patients. Fish oil supplements are very beneficial

can myosin inhibitors help diastolic dysfunction?

Venous insufficiency need not be managed in this day and age. If the underlying cause is treated properly it can be cured or HUGELY improved. Look up Professor Mark Whiteley, Consultant Venous Surgeon and Consultant Phlebologist. He specialises in walk-in walk- out surgery for varicose veins. Even here in the UK this has to be paid for.

Very interesting talk and quite futuristic. I'm wondering how much of these methodology and quantitative analysis are already being currently used in practice by doctors for treating patients (obviously those who have access)? What are the challenges posed due to regulatory authorities for it's usage?

Thank you!!💐👏

Thank you for an excellent lecture.

I think it should be noted that low doses of statins have proven to reduce heart attacks without lowering cholesterol as much. If you have serious side effects, try taking less statins. Also, taking CoQ10 can help mitigate side effects. Another way to reduce cholesterol is by losing weight and reducing visceral fat.

Excellent presentation Sir! Thank you

Why is the liver over producing LDL in the first place? Is this a reaction to something else going on? This never gets discussed. 80% of cholesterol in your body is produced by your body. Do we have the correct upper limits set of LDL? Do we understand why our body produces it? Does the Western lifestyle and Diet (beyond so-called 'bad' saturated fat) have systemic negative effects on the body that causes the body to react with cholesterol production? I don't have the answers. Theres a Doc who claims high LDL is trying to combat infection from mold/candida/infection etc.

“3 days - This is average The average number of days of increased life for anyone who takes statins” - Dr. Robert Lustig. Research LdL YOURSELF and stop listening to “experts” who are PAID to get you on these drugs. Just because a drug is supposedly safe, should you spend all that $$, insurance $$, and effort to take another drug? This is 20 year old information.

On my diet with plenty of butter, meat, eggs and cheese but very little carbs my a1c went from 6.0 to 5.4. Triglycerides from 300 to 92. Hdl from 39 to 54. Residual cholesterol from 74 to 23.

lol.

Any decent honest doctor or pharmacist will also recommend anyone with above normal levels of cholesterol should also take plant sterols (supplements). Oats are good too.

What are the relative and absolute risk reductions when you take any of these drugs?

At age 80 I had a heart attack caused by an 80％ blockage of my LAD artery and had 2 stents inserted. I usually awalk about 3 miles each morning. The last hill near home is very steep. Before the stent I would have to walk very slowly and sometimes stop and rest or I would get very dizzy. Now I can continue to walk normally. I have seen several KZfaq videos stating that some stents are being used that aren't necessary. While that may be true, for me the stent greatly improved my mobility.

Great lecture! Greetings from Tabasco, México.

I'm a medical student and also a cardiology enthusiast, so I am so curious to ask who does this kind of procedure, an interventional cardiologist or a cardiothoracic surgeon? I am amazed by today's technology in the field of cardiology.

more volume please

a little more volume please ! (i mean on the speaker's microphone, not LV end diastolic volume...)

Oh yeah. Bayer is very trustworthy.

John, thoughtful, educational and spellbinding. There is an aspect of the story that I recall from your father’s recounting of it. Maybe it was not an aspect at all but here goes. In the aftermath of the initial diagnostics and diagnosis of hemangioma, there was discussion whether to proceed or not with excision. Debate as to whether you could call exist with this tumor and avoid surgery. As it turns out you elected surgery. Seems as though that debate occurred over several days. In your musings, there was no debate.

Hi Doc, last 2022 in my result of 2d echo their was a conclusion of aortic stenosis please help me I want to live long for my 3 young children

I recently had extreme abdominal pain and I was told I have Aortitis by the ER Dr. He referred me to a Rumatory doctor. He wants me to do immunotherapy aka chemo pill. I have a Cardiologist from a previous heart attack. I don't want to take that chemo pill and I feel like I need to get treatment from my Cardiologist, Vascular surgeon,. Trying to decide which type of doctor is best for this condition. Do have any recommendations. I would Greatly appreciate it. Thank you for sharing

I am a classic example of being underestimated with Aortic Stenosis. Two years ago, I had a cardiac catheterization, the results of which, my regular cardiologist proclaimed my situation as being in "moderate aortic stenosis"...I had also been in AFIB, and on medication, for two years. I lobbied for a 2nd opinion on my condition. I was referred to a Structural Heart specialist, who was more zeroed in, on patients suffering from both AFIB and moderate aortic stenosis...He too, felt that I was "still" in the moderate range for stenosis, but he suggested I enter a study program--that he was involved with--that would monitor me over a period of many months. I did enroll...and just three months later, a paid-for Echocardiogram indicated SEVERE aortic stenosis!...My somewhat surprised Structural Heart specialist then immediately scheduled me for a TAVR procedure...The procedure was done, after a ninety-day post procedure I had undergone for my AFIB!...that procedure had worked, amazingly. But as stated, the TAVR procedure then was performed on me. That was two weeks ago...I feel much stronger, and with the good Ablation procedure getting rid of my curse of AFIB (four years worth!), I now feel good!...My point of all of this, is to be pro-active in regards to your own heart situation, lobby for 2nd opinions whenever possible, and stay informed. My main cardiologist was convinced I did not need a new Aortic valve--and so was the Specialist--until my joining the study of folks in "moderate aortic stenosis" showed them that I actually was in the "SEVERE" category, and definitely needed the TAVR procedure. Personal perseverence may well have saved my life!

If eating fish 5 to 6 times per week doesn't show any incremental benefit, how is it that native population in Greenland has no heat disease?

Is white fish just as good as a more fatter fish like salmon?

isn't it just about making you pass some more water?

What would this clown know about coQ10 on his other video the loser!

Amazing presentation 👍

Dr. Eckman is an angel. Thank you for referring me to the research dept.

I have met and worked with all three of these fine fellows. They all walk on water, they truly do. Saved my bacon several times, recently in fact. Thanks, isn't hardly enough.
