For years, the conversation around heart disease has focused heavily on LDL cholesterol. But is LDL alone telling us the full story?
In this episode, Dr. Aseem Malhotra explains why other markers like Lp(a), fibrinogen, and metabolic health may provide a deeper understanding of an individual’s cardiovascular risk.
The future of health is moving toward a more personalized approach, looking beyond a single number and understanding the complete picture.
