Why LDL Rises in Perimenopause and What Your Cholesterol Panel Isn't Telling You | Dr. Darshan Shah

Why LDL Rises in Perimenopause and What Your Cholesterol Panel Isn't Telling You | Dr. Darshan Shah

Angela and special guest Dr. Darshan Shah, look at the polarising world of cardiovascular health, specifically demystifying the role of LDL cholesterol. They challenge the traditional one-size-fits-all approach to statins, arguing that heart health must be viewed through the lens of individual biology—where factors like inflammation, genetic risk, and lifestyle can make the same LDL level a non-issue for one person and a crisis for another WHAT YOU WILL LEARN LDL is Not Always the Enemy: A high LDL reading alone doesn’t guarantee heart disease; its impact depends on individual context The Power of ApoB and Lp(a): Traditional cholesterol panels are often insufficient; more modern biomarkers like ApoB(a superior risk marker) and Lp(a) (a genetic factor) provide a much clearer picture of cardiovascular risk. AI in Diagnostics: The Clearly scan uses AI to analyse CT angiograms, allowing doctors to see the actual buildup of both calcified and soft plaque in the coronary arteries rather than just guessing based on blood work. Precision Over Dogma: Because cardiovascular health is an "N-of-1" situation, interventions like statins or PCSK9 inhibitors should be based on actual arterial health TIMESTAMPS: 01:21 The LDL Controversy: An explanation of why cholesterol remains a polarizing topic and why it must be treated as an individual biology issue. 02:37 The Tale of Two Patients: A comparison of a healthy gym-goer with high LDL/zero plaque versus a high-stress professional with lower LDL/significant plaque. 04:13 Modern Biomarkers: A breakdown of the specific tests to ask for, including ApoB, HS-CRP, and the Clearly cardiovascular scan.
