BREAKING: @BudoffMd has now presented the matched analysis for:
KETO (#LMHRstudy) vs Control (#MiHeart)
-πPlease RTπ-
METHODS βΒ 80 Participants of #LMHRstudy fell within #MiHeart age range and were then matched 1:1 for age, gender, race, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and past smoking to asymptomatic subjects from the #MiHeart cohort.
PRIMARY ANALYSIS βΒ High resolution heart scans (#CCTA) allowing for primary analysis of Total Plaque Score (TPS), Total Stenosis Score (TSS) and Segment Involvement Score (SIS)
RESULTS
The matched mean age was 55.5 years, with mean #LDL cholesterol of 272 mg/dL (max LDL-C 591) mg/dl and mean 4.7 years duration on a ketogenic diet.
π¨ There was no significant difference in coronary plaque burden of #LMHRstudy (mean LDL-C 272) cohort as compared to #MiHeart controls (mean LDL 123 mg/dl); nb: pre-KETO LDL-C in KETO group was 122 mg/dl
π¨ There was no significant difference in CAC (median and IQR) [0 (0,56)] versus [1 (0, 49)], p = 0.520
π¨ No relationship of LDL-C elevations and plaque
β οΈ This analysis is on baseline scans and the study is still ongoing for second CCTA completion in our cohort by February of 2024. And as always, please continue to work with your doctor.
- I will have my own video reaction and thoughts in the coming hours.
πππ to everyone -- and I mean everyone -- who helped us get to this pivotal milestone. πππ
@KetoCarnivore I tried high P:E (carnivore) for a while - getting up through the night several times wrecked my sleep. No difference in salt intake. Back to Keto carnivore and sleep through without needing to get up.
@KetoCarnivore@Iceman_Hof A few of us went for a cold water swim in the local Loch on my birthday last week - was fabulous! I have a cold shower every morning but cold water exposure outside much nicer! Beautiful day too so not too cold coming back out (although the water was freezing - it is Scotland!π€£)
We've got a fantastic couple of months ahead on The Canteen Podcast, featuring carnivore nutritionist @LBaileyHealth, nurse @Gaylegerro, psychiatrist @AnnChildersMD, AB's S&C coach @Nicgill4, and insulin researcher @BenBikmanPhD. What a pleasure it has been talking to them all.
@KetoCarnivore With the ribs I cut the meat off the bone first. Will then chuck the bone in the air fryer for a bit to then enjoy the meat off that π Probably will work perfectly for T-bone π
