Medical Disruptor™ by Dr. E

Heart Attacks with “Normal” Cholesterol? A Functional Cardiologist Explains


Listen Later

Heart attacks in people with “normal” cholesterol are not rare outliers. They’re the warning flare that our entire playbook is broken.

In this episode of Medical Disruptors, I sit down with interventional cardiologist-turned-functional cardiologist Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj to unpack what happens when you do everything “right” on paper… and still end up in the ER with a heart attack.


We get into advanced lipid testing (ApoB, Lp(a), and small dense LDL) and how different LDL particle patterns can drive very different levels of plaque risk. We also break down how standard stress tests miss the very plaques that actually rupture, and why CTA and smarter labs are finally giving us a way to see real cardiovascular risk.


Your labs, your lifestyle, your environment, and your nervous system all matter—and you deserve a plan that reflects that.


Hit play and start upgrading how you think about your heart.
