This week, Dr. Kahn reviews several important studies presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress. The REACT trial examined how often previously undetected atherosclerosis appears in the coronary, carotid, and femoral arteries. The results are startling and reinforce the importance of the #TestNotGuess approach to cardiovascular health.
Dr. Kahn also discusses encouraging research showing how plant-based diets may reduce cardiovascular disease risk.
Additional topics include:
NT-proBNP testing for predicting future cardiovascular disease
The connection between coronary calcium scores and dementia risk
Hormone replacement therapy and dementia
Dietary flavanols and Parkinson's disease
Blood pressure medications that may help protect the brain
Blood thinners for people with lower-risk atrial fibrillation
Vitamin K2 and the progression of coronary calcification
