Скачать или смотреть Statins: Yes or No? Let this Test Decide

For decades, we’ve been told cholesterol is the key to predicting heart disease. But a groundbreaking 2024 study shows one test — the Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) score, also called the heart scan — is a better predictor of heart attack and stroke risk than 19 other blood tests combined, including cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides.

In this video, I explain what the coronary artery calcium score is, how it works, and why it should be as routine as mammograms or prostate exams. You’ll learn how a CAC score of zero (the “power of zero”) can mean your risk is far lower than traditional calculators suggest — and why that might influence decisions about starting or stopping statin medications.

If you’re over 50, or have risk factors for heart disease, this is the scan that could change how you and your doctor manage your cardiovascular health.
