945. Calcification of Coronary Arteries

Dr. Martin looks at a study that's saying elevated blood pressure and triglyceride levels contribute to the progression of coronary calcification. Researchers are getting closer to the cause, but the world in general still thinks that cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol in particular, causes calcification of the coronary arteries. Dr. Martin has been consistent as the day is long in telling folks it's not cholesterol, but in fact metabolic syndrome. Join him as he goes over the study and shares ways to reduce your risk of developing calcification in your arteries.
