Lipoprotein(a) Cholesterol and Disease Progression: Important New Data

Heart Doc VIP with Dr. Joel Kahn

This week, Dr. Kahn packs a lot of practical information on health and longevity into this "pea-cast." He discusses the longevity plan of Dr. Michael Roizen, a well-known physician and author, including his regular use of the Prolon Fasting Mimicking Diet (www.prolonfmd.com/drkahn). Another study examines the lifestyle habits of the ultra-elderly in China, showing that it matters even at that age to adhere to healthy habits. The importance of mitral annular calcification (MAC) is also presented. Additionally, two controversial topics—cholesterol levels and mortality, as well as protein intake and kidney disease—are discussed.

The major topic is the importance of Lipoprotein(a) genetic cholesterol levels and disease progression, both in the coronary arteries and on the aortic valve. You do not want to miss this discussion of great importance for all.
