So- What exactly is that? That sounds like actually something your grandmother probably took.

So, you know, I don't think we should even need to focus on whether it comes from a mare source or a lab source.

It truly does not matter.

What matters is the dose of the medication.

Lower doses are generally safer than higher doses.

And number two, the root.

And that's truly very, very crucial.

What should they be thinking about and what questions should they be asking their doctor?

Okay, fine.

So the heart, I basically, as an interventional cardiologist, get access to the blood vessel either in your wrist or the blood vessel in your groin.

I pass a wire and a catheter into the main blood vessel, the aorta, which ultimately leads to the blood vessels of the heart.

I inject contrast, the contrast replaces the blood and I use x-ray to take pictures and those pictures tells me what kind of blockages there are, is it with one vessel or is it with multiple vessels, et cetera, et cetera.

And some patients, the heart attacks, have an acute plaque rupture where you have a lipid plug with a fibrous tissue on top.

For whatever reason, inflammation, insulin resistance, stress, high blood pressure, that plaque ruptures.

And the fat which went to repair a tear in the blood vessel now becomes a source of a problem.

And how much do you rely like on the lab work then? I'm just curious what tests you typically do either to verify to yourself what's going on or just to be able to show the patient like this is the stuff you need to work on.
