Why do humans get cardiovascular disease and how can we prevent it? These are critical processes to understand for anyone who is interested in living a longer and healthier life. I'm very honored to talk with Dr. Tom Dayspring, a world-renowned clinical lipidologist and physician whose topic expertise is unparalleled. We discuss the underlying process of atherosclerosis & the formation of plaques, ApoB, methods to stabilize plaque, metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance, markers and the risk of atherosclerosis, LP-PLA2 & atherosclerosis, homocysteine and cardiac risk, genetic therapies for lipid disorders. We also discuss lifestyle interventions, including exercise, in managing lipid disorders and reducing cardiovascular risk.
