4.4 out of 5 stars from 60 ratings
  • Good podcast-but poor audio quality

    Very good material and presenters, but substandard audio quality. Sounds like they are doing interviews via Zoom or over cell phones.

  • Constructive feedback

    Very informative podcast, I love it. There is room for improvement the accuracy of some details but overall it is basic and useful education. I.e. Ivabradine requires a minimum HR of 70 and not 60, plus the presence of sinus rhythm. Also, His bundle pacing is not that new and is being left behind by Left bundle area pacing at this point. Otherwise, great podcast. Keep it up!

  • Very informative -- will inspire you to eat better

    I thought I knew a decent amount about nutrition but I have been learning a lot from each episode. It is definitely making me take a closer look at my food choices, but instead of making me feel bad, this podcast makes me feel excited about eating healthier foods.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dyslipidemia Guidelines: What's New?
Q: How have these guideline updates changed your approach to management of patients in the clinic?
Blumenthal uses the PREVENT equations to discuss 10-year and 30-year risk, applies lower risk thresholds, and encourages lifestyle improvements and proven pharmacotherapy when patients do not reach lipid or blood pressure goals.
Dyslipidemia Guidelines: What's New?
Q: What are some of the top-level highlights that listeners should know about in the 2026 ACC/AHA multisociety Dyslipidemia Guidelines?
Blumenthal emphasizes earlier screening and treatment when lifestyle changes do not meet goals, risk assessment using the PREVENT score, personalized risk enhancers, selective calcium scoring, and reassessment through clinician-patient discussion.
Mastering the Diagnostic Work-up: From Fasting Lipids to FCS Evaluation
Q: What steps do you take when a patient presents with triglycerides over 1000 mg/dL?
First rule out secondary or predisposing conditions (kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes, thyroid issues, and certain medications). If still elevated after addressing these factors, consider FCS, use clinical scoring tools, and evaluate for genetic involvement and pancreatitis risk.
Mastering the Diagnostic Work-up: From Fasting Lipids to FCS Evaluation
Q: Why is there a push to obtain fasting triglyceride measurements even if non-fasting levels can be obtained easily?
Fasting levels provide the most accurate assessment of triglyceride-related risk and help guide management for true hypertriglyceridemia, while non-fasting tests serve as a screening tool to determine if a patient needs a fasting repeat measurement.
Intersections in Dyslipidemia and Cardiometabolic Syndrome Management
Q: Do you interpret that as starting lipid lowering therapy in these borderline risk patients, or should we emphasize intensive lifestyle changes first?
The guideline framework is a starting point; decisions should be personalized, weighing risk signals, imaging options like calcium scoring, and the patient-clinician discussion about how proactive to be.
