Glad you got something important out of the episode, Paula. Interviewing Warrick was an eye opener for me, too. My next step is to get my heart imaged so that I know - and my GP knows - just where I stand with regard to my heart health.
Thanks Chris and Dave! I found this so informative. Last month, again my doctor wanted to prescribe statins - my cholesterol is 260 with a normal HDL level. My age + the other factors puts me 8% risk of a heart attack, which I feel is very low!! I declined.
To know that there exists calcium scanning/imaging is really key. This is the only way as he thoroughly explains to know whether the person is accumulating plaque or not. Well worth the listen! Thanks, Paula
Really happy that you got a lot out of the episode, Paula. It has been garnering plenty of interest!
Thank you for your comment.
