Episode 433: Breakthroughs in Cholesterol Treatment and Heart Disease Prevention


Listen Later

This week, Dr. Kahn explores the latest breakthroughs in cholesterol management. He covers lipid apheresis, an often underused but powerful treatment for patients with severe cholesterol issues. He also reviews new research suggesting statins may help prevent cancer. 

Plus, two promising studies on the experimental drug obicetrapib show hopeful results for the future of lipid control. 

In the short topics segment, Dr. Kahn touches on ablation for atrial fibrillation, the link between autoimmune disease and heart risk in women, the shingles vaccine, quercetin for gum health, and the role of Life’s Essential 8 in prevention.
