Description

This week, Dr. Kahn discussed two patients at the Kahn Center who were referred for cardiac bypass surgery (CABG) but have chosen to pursue a science-backed, yet rigorous, program of lifestyle and medication. Dr. Kahn discussed the new CENTURY study, which demonstrated that "comprehensive" care over five years in heart patients significantly improved outcomes and helped avoid CABG.

Dr. Kahn goes on to review shorter topics including a new video by Valter Longo, Ph.D. (WATCH HERE), conflicts in research on meat, outcomes on statin Rx medications, black vs. sweet coffee, low-fiber and red meat diets on heart plaque, and the Sit-to-Stand test.
