The Cholesterol Misconception
Episode 7.
In this episode we discuss some basic fundamentals around cholesterol and cardiovascular disease. Is LDL Cholesterol the only thing that matters? I think not. There is more to the story.
To get started we will talk about vascular inflammation, LDL particle size and number, a few of the other possible contributing factors in cardiovascular disease, and some easy-to-obtain laboratory testing which can expand on the typical "Lipid Panel" normally ordered.
