Why the ApoB Test Could Save Your Life: New Heart Disease Risk Insights with Dr. Ann Marie Navar EP 121
In this episode of AGE BETTER with Barbara Hannah Grufferman, I dive into a groundbreaking conversation about heart health with one of the world’s leading experts on cholesterol and heart disease prevention, Dr. Ann Marie Navar. Dr. Navar is an Associate Professor of Medicine and preventive cardiologist at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, with a research focus on preventing heart disease through cholesterol management. She also serves on the Executive Committee of the American Society of Preventive Cardiology.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
Understanding ApoB: Dr. Navar explains what ApoB is and why it's a more accurate marker for assessing heart disease risk than traditional cholesterol measurements like LDL-C.
Why ApoB Testing Matters: Learn why measuring ApoB can provide a clearer picture of your heart disease risk, especially if you have metabolic risk factors like obesity, diabetes, or high triglycerides, or even if you appear metabolically healthy.
Current Guidelines and Future Recommendations: Dr. Navar discusses the limitations of the current guidelines that focus primarily on LDL-C and the need to revise these guidelines to include routine ApoB testing for a more comprehensive assessment of heart health.
The Role of Coronary Artery Calcium Score: Discover the importance of the coronary artery calcium score test in evaluating plaque buildup in the arteries and how it can complement ApoB testing for a more thorough evaluation of cardiovascular risk.
Join us for this essential discussion to learn how to take proactive steps in managing your heart health with the latest insights from cutting-edge research.
