👉Physical Activity and Progression of CAC

☝️Findings
In this cohort study involving 8771 apparently healthy adults 40 years and older, high and very high volumes of physical activity during follow-up were unrelated to CAC progression. Moreover, higher baseline physical

Sniderman editorial:

“Failure to demonstrate a significant relationship between LDL-C and cardiovascular risk does not mean one would not be present with apoB. The evidence that LDL-C plays a causal role in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis is so strong that a negative

👉Nice thread, however, it's important to clarify that the essential component for developing atherosclerosis is ApoB.

☝️While inflammation certainly plays a role in exacerbating the condition, atherosclerosis can occur without it.

☝️In contrast, ApoB is indispensable for the
