Preventive cardiology is undergoing a revolution, with advanced biomarkers and imaging techniques offering unparalleled insights into cardiovascular risk. Traditional risk factors like cholesterol and blood pressure remain important. Still, cutting-edge tools such as Apolipoprotein B (ApoB), Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), myeloperoxidase (MPO), Lipoprotein-Associated Phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2), Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (CIMT), Coronary Calcium Score (CAC), and Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA) with Cleerly enable more precise risk assessment and targeted preventive strategies.

Insulin resistance is a prevalent metabolic disorder that poses significant health risks, including a direct impact on cardiovascular health. It is characterized by the body's diminished ability to respond to the action of the hormone insulin. This hormone, produced by the pancreas, is essential for regulating blood sugar levels by facilitating glucose uptake into cells for energy. When the body becomes resistant to insulin, higher levels of both insulin and glucose build up in the blood, setting the stage for various health issues, including type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

Heart disease remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide, impacting millions of families and their futures. The shadow of a family history of heart disease often brings a cloud of uncertainty and fear. However, emerging evidence suggests that the power to change the narrative of heart health lies significantly within our control. Contrary to common belief, only about 10-20% of heart disease risk factors are genetic, leaving an overwhelming 80-90% influenced by lifestyle choices. This insight paves the way for proactive strategies to mitigate heart disease risk, even for those with a familial predisposition.
Brain health is crucial for cognitive function, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life. While our brains do undergo natural changes as we age, the choices we make and the proactive measures we take can significantly influence brain health and vitality, offering us the power to shape our cognitive future.

Diabetes is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Understanding the connection between diabetes, its precursor insulin resistance, and cardiovascular health is crucial for implementing effective prevention strategies.
Heart disease remains the #1 cause of death globally, with high cholesterol recognized as a pivotal risk factor. Understanding cholesterol, including its types and their roles, is critical in preventing and managing cardiovascular diseases. The inclusion of apolipoprotein B (apoB) and lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] in our understanding of cholesterol types provides a more detailed picture of cardiovascular risk. This podcast highlights how these factors influence heart health and outlines strategies to mitigate risks.
High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a prevalent condition that poses significant risks to heart health. It often progresses without noticeable symptoms, earning it the nickname "the silent killer." Understanding the causes, risks, and strategies for management is crucial in preventing the severe consequences it can have on overall health and well-being.
