Inflammation and Cardiometabolic Disease Edition: Interplay Between Cholesterol, Inflammation and Thrombosis

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD]

Guest: Atul Jain, M.D., M.S.

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women and it’s responsible for 1 in every 5 deaths. It’s estimated to cost over $250 billion a year, which includes the cost of medical services, medications and lost productivity. Patients with cardiovascular disease are commonly seen in a general medical practice and since it’s such a common health problem, we’re all pretty comfortable managing these patients. But do we know what’s happening pathologically? What’s the role of cholesterol and inflammation in cardiovascular disease? What causes the inflammation? How do we measure it and most importantly, can we do anything about it? I’ll be asking these questions of our guest, internist Atul Jain, M.D., M.S., from the Division of General Internal Medicine at the Mayo Clinic as we discuss the interplay between cholesterol, inflammation and thrombosis in cardiovascular disease.

These talks on Inflammation and Cardiometabolic Disease are sponsored by Novo Nordisk
