Atherosclerosis, the number one killer worldwide, begins much earlier than when it can be detected by coronary artery calcium (CAC) score

Thrilled to share that my abstract is selected for the European Atherosclerosis Society 92nd Congress to be held in Lyon, France next month. Looking forward to presenting and connecting with colleagues in this exciting field! European Atherosclerosis Society EAS Congress Atherosclerosis Atherosclerosis Plus

Optimal Vitamin K2 intake is crucial to avoid the calcium plaque buildup of atherosclerosis, thus keeping the risk and rate of calcification as low as possible.

I wasn't going to post this but I decided to do so. A lot of autopsies are revealing atherosclerosis of the illiac arteries. In young people. This is not normal. These are findings from a forensic pathologist. So there's that
