"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.
