2/ #Revisiting Cholesterol 101 podcast @FatEmperor Excellent production. I guess I am Lex Luthor 2 this Irish #Superman I have endured as archenemy of this Irish "root cause" Superman.
He has the attractive and compelling blarney of the Irish but I have the overwhelming data.
3/ #Revisiting Cholesterol 101 podcast Thxs Ivor for updating your position for me. I don't think you put this information in Eat Rich Live Well? What page is it on? How high does the CAC # need 2 B to initiate statin therapy? Again not in the book? @rand18m @TuitNutrition
4/ #RevisitingCholesterol Ivor I know U don't want 2 discuss med Rx. as U R not a Doc. Do U have a podcast where U sit down w a lipidologist 2 discuss when statins, Zetia, Niacin, & ESPECIALLY PCSK9 should B used? Can LDL B 2 low?
5/ #RevisitingCholesterol In response to Ivor's post shown below.
49% of FH patients with CAC zero had CVE.
In your chart on your podcast people without FH who have CAC 0 have 1.4% CVE.
Where is your engineering math now. 😂
6/ #RevisitingCholesterol
Below is the chart your article uses.
In your podcast people w/o FH at CAC 1-100 had 4 % CVE
Pps w FH at CAC 1-100 had 30% CVE

Pps w/o FH had at CAC >100 had 15% CVE in your podcast
