Understanding Long-Term Cardiovascular Risk in Women: Insights from a New Study

Dr. Laurie Marbas Podcast

In this episode, I delve into a groundbreaking new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine that examines long-term cardiovascular risk in women. The study, led by a team of researchers, followed nearly 28,000 healthy women over 30 years to analyze three key biomarkers: high sensitivity CRP (HSCRP), LDL cholesterol (the "bad" cholesterol), and lipoprotein little a (Lp(a)). These biomarkers are crucial for predicting cardiovascular events such as heart attacks, strokes, and heart disease-related deaths. I highlight the significance of understanding how these markers predict 30-year cardiovascular outcomes, emphasizing the potential for earlier interventions to reduce risk. Join me as I explore what to look for, questions to ask your doctor, and strategies to incorporate into your lifestyle to combat inflammation and cholesterol issues.
