In today’s episode, Randy Vawdrey dives into cardiovascular prevention with a special focus on coronary artery calcium (CAC) testing. He guides us through why traditional cardiovascular risk factors like LDL cholesterol, HDL, and BMI may not be as predictive of heart attack risk as once thought, and how CAC scores can provide a much clearer picture.


You'll hear about the latest research, practical steps for interpreting CAC scores, and the lifestyle and supplemental interventions that can help halt the progression of cardiovascular disease.
