サマリー
あらすじ・解説
Happy Holidays (in the USA)! Dr. Kahn reports from the European Society of Cardiology in London, England, where headlines were popping all week with new and important topics.
Dr. Kahn discusses the impact of menopause on cholesterol measurements, the need to check Lipoprotein(a) levels in everyone at least once, the benefits of catching up on sleep over the weekend, the perks of quitting smoking 100%, the impact of obesity on heart disease deaths, and the lack of benefit from long-term beta-blocker medications after a heart attack.
He then dives into more esoteric topics, such as the optimal treatment of heart valve disease. The final topic is transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM), a rare but significant heart condition. A promising new therapy was reported on in London. Enjoy the journey!
