We’ve known the major causes of heart disease for decades.

Smoking. Cholesterol. Blood pressure. Diabetes.

So why is it still the leading cause of death worldwide?

In this episode, we break down cardiovascular epidemiology — from the Framingham Heart Study to modern advances in genetics, wearables, and AI.

You’ll learn:

• How risk factors were discovered
• Why “residual risk” still exists
• How genetics and polygenic risk scores are changing the field
• The role of policy, prevention, and health disparities

This isn’t just history — it’s where the future of public health is being built.
