Abstract in brief

  • Atherosclerosis begins in early life and can progress unnoticed for years, making it crucial to find early detection methods.
  • The PESA study is an ongoing research project that looks at various factors, including imaging and lifestyle, to understand and monitor early stages of atherosclerosis in asymptomatic individuals.
  • Enrolled between 2010 and 2014, the study involves 4184 middle-aged participants who undergo regular check-ups to track the development of atherosclerosis until at least 2029.

@PeterFaberSP @theproof @realDaveFeldman Nearly half the Keto cohort has a positive CAC score and would presumably now be taking statins to curtail further development. We ... don't really need to wonder if "high" LDL causes CVD, anything above our naturally low LDL causes CVD. https://t.co/DwH4gmfJrR https://t.co/nlpNAvuVft

@MohammedAlo In the PESA study, 36% of individuals with LDL-C 150-160 mg/dL showed no atherosclerosis, suggesting that even with high LDL, some are protected by factors like genetics, lifestyle, or low inflammation. https://t.co/u6Zv9SPMbS https://t.co/iuKb881Ovv
