"Mammograms invented the playbook for preventative medicine. I would like to copy that playbook for heart health. If we do the same thing, we're going to save a lot of lives."

@altcap Intensive lipid lowering, especially statins and PCSK9 inhibitors, can raise the score while lowering heart attack risk. The mechanism is plaque stabilization. Soft, lipid-rich plaque becomes dense calcified, which is less likely to rupture.

Thank you Brad—I’m a lawyer in healthcare and should know this but so should my PCP. 2 years ago when I told my PCP I wanted a CAC scan, he said, “where did you get that idea?” I said there’s this guy named Brad Gerstner who is also a lawyer, MBA, world class investor and seems like someone who wants to help people—he had never heard of you and I frankly did not care to explain. His reply: “yes, excellent idea.” Dial forward and my cardiologist is actively managing my status now. Just a quick note to tell you thank you Brad, to keep up the good work and keep telling the world about the CAC scan—I am a walking advertisement with my friends and family especially as a baby boomer who would really like to be around for several decades.

NEW: Brad Gerstner (Brad Gerstner) & Jason Chang (Jason Chang) are trying to turn a $100 CAC heart scan into the “mammogram for the heart.” At the All-In Summit, Brad brought his mobile coronary artery calcium CT scanner to screen attendees & make the case for preventing heart attacks at scale. Heart disease kills ~800,000 Americans annually. Brad believes scaling CAC scans to 40M people a year could save 50,000 lives & $20B in government healthcare costs annually. Rob Goldberg joined us to explain why the mission is deeply personal. His brother Dave Goldberg, married to Sheryl Sandberg, died suddenly at 47 from undiagnosed heart disease, leaving behind their two young children. Just five months earlier, he had passed a running EKG. “My brother had passed a running EKG five months before he dropped dead from heart disease, from undiagnosed heart disease.” Dave’s death became the foundation for Sandberg’s book Option B, co-written with Adam Grant, about grief, resilience & rebuilding life after devastating loss. Now Brad Gerstner, Rob Goldberg, Jason Chang & the rest of the besties, & the team behind the Center for Heart Attack Prevention want to prevent more families from experiencing the same thing, pushing for earlier detection, broader access to CAC scans & changes to the standard of care. We go inside the mobile scanner & discuss: › Why Brad calls CAC scanning the “mammogram for the heart” › The Goldberg family’s experience with undiagnosed heart disease › Why cholesterol & traditional testing can miss cardiovascular risk › What CAC scores actually tell you › Difference between a calcium CT scan & an angiogram › Why Brad bought his own mobile scanner › The “buy one, give one” model for expanding access › Brad’s push to bring CAC screening to 40 million Americans a year › How a roughly $100 scan could potentially prevent thousands of premature deaths › Why Brad believes health data gives people the power to take action 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐒 00:00 Brad Gerstner & Rob Goldberg 00:10 CAC Scanner Moonshot 01:53 Rob’s Family Tragedy 04:39 Center Missions and Prevention 05:37 Why Cholesterol Became Standard 10:07 Overcoming Fear and Insurance 12:29 CAC vs Angiogram Guidance 14:43 Where the Trailer Goes Next 16:40 Inside the Scanner Demo 20:48 Why Labs Miss Risk 23:27 Final Call to Action
