That "plaque begets plaque" is a very unsatisfying explanation. So what starts the plaque in the first place?

A crucial question -- but these data are more about looking to our cohort and whether the association of LDL/ApoB is present...

Congrats 🎉 My cholesterol 325 LDL 215 Triglycerides 64 (Do you want my other lipid panel results?) MD said statins. I said following you and requested CT Calcium Scoring Scan. Results 1 (one). 7 years lc Keto. Thank you for saving me from statins. Will give paper to my MD.

Can't even believe how long I've waited for this -- and now the day has arrived.

Good stuff, Dave. I'd posit that the presence of plaque leads to plaque progression because it changes blood flow dynamics.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING: Matthew Budoff MD has now presented the matched analysis for: KETO (#LMHRstudy) vs Control (#MiHeart) -🙏Please RT🙏- METHODS – 80 Participants of #LMHRstudy fell within #MiHeart age range and were then matched 1:1 for age, gender, race, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and past smoking to asymptomatic subjects from the #MiHeart cohort. PRIMARY ANALYSIS – High resolution heart scans (#CCTA) allowing for primary analysis of Total Plaque Score (TPS), Total Stenosis Score (TSS) and Segment Involvement Score (SIS) RESULTS The matched mean age was 55.5 years, with mean #LDL cholesterol of 272 mg/dL (max LDL-C 591) mg/dl and mean 4.7 years duration on a ketogenic diet. 🚨 There was no significant difference in coronary plaque burden of #LMHRstudy (mean LDL-C 272) cohort as compared to #MiHeart controls (mean LDL 123 mg/dl); nb: pre-KETO LDL-C in KETO group was 122 mg/dl 🚨 There was no significant difference in CAC (median and IQR) [0 (0,56)] versus [1 (0, 49)], p = 0.520 🚨 No relationship of LDL-C elevations and plaque ⚠️ This analysis is on baseline scans and the study is still ongoing for second CCTA completion in our cohort by February of 2024. And as always, please continue to work with your doctor. - I will have my own video reaction and thoughts in the coming hours. 🙏🙏🙏 to everyone -- and I mean everyone -- who helped us get to this pivotal milestone. 🙏🙏🙏

There’s been a lot of buzz—and confusion—about the new Keto-CTA study, examining plaque progression in Lean Mass Hyper-Responders (LMHRs). Much of the social media debate has centered on whether high LDL on keto is safe or dangerous, driven largely by how to interpret the supplemental table comparing this study to others on LDL and plaque progression. In this episode of the Metabolic Mind Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Matthew Budoff, a world-renowned cardiologist, cardiac CT researcher, and the study's lead investigator, to discuss the the supplemental table, what the plaque markers mean, and how this fits into the discussion of high- vs -low-risk plaque progression. In this episode, we cover: ✅ What PAV (Percent Atheroma Volume) is, what it actually measures, and why it matters ✅ Why a 50% increase in plaque may sound scary, but can be deceiving ✅ The difference between “treatment-naive” and “treated” participants ✅ What the Miami Heart Study comparison reveals about keto, LDL, and plaque ✅ Why LDL alone may not tell the whole story about heart disease risk ✅ How some high-risk individuals may still benefit from statins and other therapies This study doesn’t answer whether keto causes heart disease or not. Instead, it shows that high LDL on a ketogenic diet is not a reliable predictor of plaque progression across all individuals. What is predictive? The presence of existing plaque. 💡 Key takeaway: Relying on surrogate markers of heart disease, like LDL and ApoB, is not the best way to assess heart disease risk in all populations. If you're concerned about how elevated LDL may be affecting your heart health, the best next step is to speak with your doctor about cardiac imaging to directly assess plaque and gain a clearer picture of your individual risk.

What if everything we thought we knew about cholesterol and heart disease risk… doesn’t apply to everyone? In this episode, world-renowned cardiologist Dr. Matthew Budoff unpacks the results of a landmark one-year study tracking 100 lean, metabolically healthy individuals on a ketogenic diet with extremely elevated LDL levels. Dr. Budoff is the Program Director, Director of Cardiac CT, and the endowed chair of preventive cardiology at The Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. In this interview, Dr. Scher and Dr. Budoff further break down the results of his new publication, which used advanced imaging to demonstrate that LDL cholesterol and ApoB levels are not associated with plaque progression in Lean-Mass Hyper Responders following a #ketogenicdiet. 📊 Surprising insights: • Elevated LDL and ApoB did not predict plaque progression • Some participants with LDLs over 500 showed no plaque at all • A few participants even experienced plaque regression • Existing plaque—not LDL-C or ApoB—did predict plaque accumulation in this population Dr. Budoff explains what these results mean for clinicians, for patients using ketogenic therapy as a medical intervention, and for the broader conversation around cardiovascular disease risk. “It is important that clinicians, along with the general public, are made aware that personalized, data-driven approaches to assessing risk should be considered based on individual conditions,” said Dr. Budoff. “The existence of this phenotype suggests that alternative markers or tests should be used to establish metabolic health in some cases.” 🎬 These exciting new findings are featured in Dave Feldman and Jen Isenhart’s upcoming documentary, The Cholesterol Code, the story of how a software engineer conducts a groundbreaking study on an unusual group of people—lean, healthy individuals whose doctors are convinced they’ll die young. Real stories of healing with ketogenic diets provide a blueprint for using food as powerful medicine.
