Fat Emperor Podcast: Dr. Scott Murray, Cardiologist - on Heart Attack Prevention

Description:

Okay guys the Podcast series won’t be released for another week or so, but here’s an episode from before I got the gear set up right - and it’s got some crucially important messages to get out there! Podcast Link: https://anchor.fm/ivor-cummins/episodes/Episode-2---Dr--Scott-Murray--Cardiologist---on-Heart-Attack-Prevention-e37ef9 Dr. Scott Murray is a research cardiologist with exceptional experience in interventional and preventative cardiology. He is a particular expert in the field of cardiac imaging, and has published many papers on the compelling findings from both his invasive and non-invasive studies. Dr. Murray is the current president of the British Association of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation (BACPR). I met Scott at the Johnstown estate in County Meath, Ireland, where I had just addressed the National Institute of Preventive Cardiology of Ireland (NIPC) conference (before participating in an on-stage debate about saturated fat and nutritional guidelines - that was fun, as you can imagine!). Scott and I took the time out to have a quick chat while our wives walked in the extensive hotel grounds. We focused particularly on the latest 2018 American College of Cardiology (ACC) cardiovascular disease guidelines - which have recently given a coveted "2A" evidence level rating for the use of Coronary Artery Calcium scoring (CAC). We also cover several other topics around cardiac Imaging - such as CAC versus CTCA, ability to detect "soft plaque" using CAC - and of course what all the numbers mean for risk of heart attack and all-cause mortality.
