It's super annoying when main broadcaster keeps announcing how great her score is, when obviously people who have higher scores would watch this videom
Agreed.
Great observation! Agreed. Narcissistic traits!
Was gonna say exactly that 😅
Mine was 1244, had a ecocardiagram, pet scan with no findings, heart was functioning well. Have low blood pressure. Just said i was at risk. Im 67.
Love the video!!! NOT the annoying broadcaster 😂😂
There's a reason doctors don't routinely give people a CT scan. All by itself it does not give you reliable evidence of an individuals cardiovascular disease risk. A 0 score doesn't mean you don't have plaque build up. It just means you are relatively young. You can also have a lot of calcium but not a lot of blockage. It just means you are old. You don't need a CT score to figure out if you are old. Maybe when combined with other tests and observations it can be helpful which is what this video is basically saying.
Cholesterol is not the major cause of plaque buildup because the body produces more than what we actually consume, ie: then everyone should have chronic problems. Over-consumption of sugar and carbs are the major problem that raises blood sugar, therefore, spiking insulin which is the real cause of the plaque buildup.

Ok dr fauchi
Cause of soft plaque is insulin resistance. Correct and cure insulin resistance and remove soft plaque
Dang, I wish Dr Paula was my doctor!!! What a honey.

Help!!
I’ve recently had a Calcium Score test and the result was 103.
The Cardiologist (without knowing my Triglycerides and Apo B levels) strongly advised starting statins.
I’m a 67 year old male of Indian origin. I’m slim and muscular (body fat 10%) and have been exercising most days since I was 19).
I alternate strength training with HIIT. My blood pressure is 105/65.
My HDL is 2.11. My Apolipoprotein b is 91.
My Triglycerides is 0.51.
I’m generally very healthy and have a good, varied diet.
Any advice on whether to start taking statins would be much appreciated.
Dont take them. Go plant based. Look up Dr Esselstyn. You can reverse it with plant based diet
Cut out sugar, processed carbs take vitamin k.
@@kennethb6211 and cut out all animal products. Go 100% vegan
check Lipoprotein(a) if that’s elevated you may be in trouble.
Statins frigging work.
Mine was 820, good blood pressure and good glucose. Am I screwed?

Yup 🫤
no necessary, depends on how old you are and your current diet, take d3 and k2 to help, calcified plaque is stable, the soft plaque is not , inflamation and insulin are the problem get a cimt test if you can find one to tell you about the soft plaque., There is a mra test form of mri to see the soft plaque, z safer than a ct cat test
Most important thing is ApoB. That is what one needs to get a handle on. Not downplaying but most other stuff is noise.

What is ApoB?
@@RG-hf4et google it. The best single test for arterial potential blockages. Plaque. Calcium, cholesterol. Think drywall as the wall of an artery. You get a gouge in the drywall. You hit it with drywall mud. Same with arteries. Mist anything foreign cavse wall scaring. Normal bodily process is patch the scaring. Cholesterol, calcium, put simply.
Very poor explanation of what is going on with plaque. How it happens, how to prevent and how to reverse.

But if you are taking Statins for a long time then get a calcium scan the CT will show much high calcium score. There is a paradox. Check my facts out,
Sir 38 score how many risk?

It's not plaque it's the calcification of plaque.
No. Cholesterol has *nothing to do with it*.
Irritating broadcaster voice. She seems easily unsettled 😅

You should see a cardiologist. My score is higher than yours and I'm going to have a stress test done in 2 days.
