651: Managing Heart Health with Dr. Matthew J. Budoff

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death globally. While we know the importance of exercise, weight management, and blood pressure control, what role do scans and testing play? Can coronary calcium (CAC) scores help detect risks before it's too late? And if arterial plaque is found, are there steps you can take to reverse or manage it? This week, we dive deep into heart disease prevention, diagnostic scans, and practical options to take control of your heart health.

Listen and learn:

  • What a CAC (coronary artery calcium) score is and why it matters
  • Safety versus efficacy of statins in heart disease management
  • Non-statin options for heart health
  • The difference between managing and reversing heart disease
  • Costs, options, and taking agency over your cardiovascular wellness
