"I LOVE CHOLESTEROL! Do you know what my Cholesterol is?"
"TAKE A DEEP BREATH.....IT IS 325."
~Dr. Alok Chopra, Cardiologist
"Cholesterol is deeply linked to our immune system. It deactivates bacteria, pathogens, viruses, yeast & mold."
"It controls infections, protecting damage, reducing the chances of AIDS, Alzheimer's, recovery from illness. All of that is done by Cholesterol."
The greatest myth in the field of medicine is that there is a relationship between high cholesterol & heart disease~it does not exist.
There are no benefits to taking a Statin, yes they lower your cholesterol, but they do not lower Cardiovascular Risk or Disease.
In fact, low Cholesterol is dangerous & is causal for Heart Attack, Cancer & Stroke.
Cholesterol Is Essential, Without It Our Bodies Cannot Make:
Testosterone
Aldosterone
Cortisol
DHT Dihydrotestosterone
DHEA Dehydroepiandrosterone
Estradiol
Estriol
Estrone
Progesterone
Vitamin D
Total cholesterol levels are meaningless. The best biomarker for cardiac health is low Triglycerides & high HDL. The TG/HDL ratio optimally should be less than 1.5

To Stent Or Not To Stent - Why Is That (Even) A Question
The past week I met an accomplished and successful colleague who told me that he did not understand the excitement around DCBs.
His exact words were: “For 40 years we’ve been taught not to walk away from dissections, and now we are being taught we should ignore them. This is a move in the wrong direction.”
The conversation quickly moved on to other topics, but my one comment was: “If people who have made their careers putting in stents are excited about DCBs, you have to wonder why?”🤔

@abadkhan2002 @Gauravcardio01 @ahakeem143 @ankitbusy @Drakhil_cardio @DrIHHashmi1 @jedicath @realarainmd @DrRajeshG1 Yes. Proximal vessel will be of larger size. And drug may not have been delivered at all.
English

Good try and positive intent.. But I fear MLA will be extremely suboptimal here in LAD and residual plaque burden will be high ..
And also patient may still be FFR positive even at the end of procedure ..
Use IMAGING or atleast good vessel preparation upfront before DEB ..
RECOIL is a significant problem for DEB efficacy

50 yr male, CAD, IWMI 15 DAYS BACK, GOOD LV..DID TOTALLY STENT-LESS PCI...FIRST BED PREPARATION BY CUTTING 🎈 2.5 X 12..THEN DCB TO LAD 2.75 X 30 MM.AND LCX 2.75 X 20.mm.there was grade 2 dissection in prox LAD. OBSERVED FOR 30..MINS.PT DISCHARGED AFTER 48 HRS

@Gauravcardio01 @abadkhan2002 @ahakeem143 @ankitbusy @Drakhil_cardio @DrIHHashmi1 @jedicath @realarainmd @DrRajeshG1 Why DEB in this case?? Any particular reason?? We dont have long term data for DEBs in such proximal and large sized vessels.

The RETRY protocol for radial artery occlusion recanalization, based on ultrasound-guided distal radial access and DCB angioplasty, is feasible, safe, and associated with excellent technical success and favorable short-term patency. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…

@rjVACHAS One would be spending 3 years in internal medicine prior to DM Endo or ID. An awareness of the various superspecialities is needed for the cross talk on the clinical side i feel.
English

@drcheruvarun @rjVACHAS Ridiculous. Without doing MD in clinical branch it should not be allowed to do DM in clinical branch.
English

@rjVACHAS MD Anatomy should be eligible for MCH also.. what a ridiculous take

@nadig_cardio Why non culprit lesion to be treated during emergency setting?? That too LM stenting. I would have staged lm-lcx and rca.

@drvasusadineni @theliverdoc @esSENSEGlobal You were completely improfessional in the debate. Counter questions did not help you. If the youth has been brainwashed like this, nation aint going to make progess. It is regressive. You represent majority that hold beliefs rather than develop scientific temperament.

At one point, my Ayurveda opponent got so flustered, she called me "Bro".

@drvasusadineni @theliverdoc @esSENSEGlobal So she accepted that she is not competent enough to argue against him. Now crying about the age.

@theliverdoc @esSENSEGlobal Hi the son of Dr Philips Augustine.
To debate with a young woman who is half of your age you had to come with your batalion,your organization, moderator, additional 2 of them in the background and what if you were to debate with a expertise I think you would come with the army😂
