Ceramide Risk Score: How to Incorporate it Into Your CV Prevention Practice
Guest: Vlad Vasile, M.D., Ph.D.
Host: Stephen L. Kopecky, M.D.
Ceramides score is a blood test used to assess the risk of heart attacks and stroke. Most patients evaluated for cardiovascular risk benefit from this test, particularly patients deemed at intermediate risk by other assessments. Score is reported as numbers: the higher the score, the higher the risk. Ceramides score is reproducible and modifiable with lifestyle interventions and medications that lower cholesterol; it also helps with tracking patient progress and motivation.
