@kokoro_fukufuku That reflection shows a woman looking away from this person. Not even at the same table.

@MohammedAlo I still say the CT coronary angiogram is an easy, quick test to determine cardiac status instead of a stress test. More direct data instead of indirect data.

[Jeff Schaffer MD @jschaff]

@NEJM But did the control group have a higher rate of cardiac events?

[Jeff Schaffer MD @jschaff]

@N1Bhargava @NEJM You still want to get the LPa down.

[Jeff Schaffer MD @jschaff]

@N1Bhargava @NEJM Look into Lipfendra.

[Jeff Schaffer MD @jschaff]

@NEJM Poorly designed study. Pelacarsen isnt supposed to melt away plaque. Just keep it from growing as quickly. The original blockages could still cause the same type of cardiac events that they did before the study drug was given.

[Jeff Schaffer MD @jschaff]

@Georgia_07os Seriously. Of course.

@Mdpack2222 @jjverdi And it didn’t matter what their names were. Blah blah blah blah

[Jeff Schaffer MD @jschaff]

@BlaineStewart16 @jjverdi Even though they took away the X vote party line, I basically did it by not looking at the candidate name. Just the party affiliation. And voted the party, not the name.

[Jeff Schaffer MD @jschaff]

@Shakapahona @jjverdi @10milesTillE Blah blah blah blah.

[Jeff Schaffer MD @jschaff]

@jjverdi @rodslifestories Well buddy. Apparently there was a massive shift. And the rest of your post is really just “blah blah blah blah”.

[Jeff Schaffer MD @jschaff]

@jjverdi They could have put a fireplug up as a candidate against the red’s. Everyone voted AGAINST a candidate. Not necessarily FOR one.

@Drlipid This result is not significant. In my opinion it is a flawed study to begin with. Reduction in LPa was never meant to reduce the plaque burden, just slow it down. Once the plaques are there they cause blockage of flow this cardiac events.

@TalkinBaseball_ @tangotiger Well that’s a bogus system. It’s a strike of the bat passes tha plane of the front of the plate.

I keep reading about meds or diets that lower LDL as a cardiac protectant method. This is all great IF YOU DO IT WHEN YOU ARE YOUNG and no plaque has built up yet. So far, there’s nothing that will dissolve or reduce the plaque burden….
