This week, Dr. Kahn discusses two large new studies examining the role of routine coronary artery calcium CT scoring around age 61 and its impact on clinical outcomes. Dr. Kahn favors getting a first calcium CT score at age 45 or younger.

One study found that potentially unnecessary statin use was three times higher when a calcium CT score was not available. Patients were also much more likely to follow their recommended treatment when calcium scoring results were available. The second study found that CT results led to a major change in therapy for one in five people. These are encouraging findings that further support the #TestNotGuess approach.

Other topics include:

Low cardiac risk at age 42 and long-term outcomes
Working from home and prolonged sitting
Piping-hot drinks and esophageal cancer
Menopausal hormone therapy and heart risk
The prevalence of omega-3 deficiency
Ahiflower as an omega-3 supplement
Blood pressure and dementia

This week, Dr. Kahn discusses the widespread disappointment following Novartis' announcement that its 8,000-patient HORIZON trial of a lipoprotein(a)-lowering drug failed to meet its primary endpoint. The news came as a major surprise and disappointment to patients eagerly awaiting access to this medication. No additional details have been released, and there is not yet a published paper to review. Dr. Kahn discusses the possible reasons the trial failed and what he plans to do moving forward.
Other topics include lifestyle factors associated with sudden cardiac arrest, mindfulness for elevated blood pressure, hormone therapy and the female brain during menopause, the risks of off-label testosterone therapy in men, GLP-1 medications and lifespan, Mounjaro and cardiovascular risk, TMAO and brain atrophy, statins and reduced dementia risk, and the connection between adverse pregnancy outcomes and future cardiovascular disease. 
Dr. Kahn's new book, Don't Drop Dead, is available in print, audiobook, and Kindle formats on Amazon.

Dr. Kahn interviews Anurag Singh, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer of Timeline Nutrition, whose research has focused on urolithin A, a compound produced from nutrients found in pomegranates.

Nearly 20 years of research have resulted in more than 500 studies, 25 human clinical trials, and 80 patents related to this unique compound, which is available in powders, capsules, and even gummies. Research suggests that urolithin A may safely support mitochondrial renewal and muscle strength. Timeline Nutrition was also selected as a finalist in the $101 million XPRIZE Healthspan competition.
