Most heart attacks don’t start with a clogged artery! They start with a microscopic storm — a small, invisible wound inside the artery wall. That storm begins decades before symptoms, sometimes before high school. By the time someone hits their forties or fifties, the real question isn’t whether atherosclerosis has begun…It’s how far it’s already g…

LDL may get all the blame — but there’s a darker twin hiding in the shadows. Same cholesterol core. Same ApoB backbone. But with one sinister twist: a sticky tail called apolipoprotein(a).

LDL-C is the number we’ve all been trained to chase. But what if the real culprit isn’t the cholesterol itself… but the number of particles carrying it?

It’s essential for life, but when carried in the wrong lipoproteins, it becomes the driving force behind atherosclerosis.

We tell patients to “eat more healthy fats” — but what does that actually mean? Why is coconut oil villainized while olive oil gets the heart-healthy halo — even though both come from plants? Why does cheese get a pass on the charcuterie board, but butter gets the side-eye — even though both are saturated fats? The truth is, fatty acids aren’t just…
