Continuous glucose monitoring may have a role in identifying and preventing diabetes among healthy adults, but more studies in people without diabetes need to be conducted, according to a speaker at #WCIRDC25

I still don't understand why colchicine continues to be disrespected - three positive outcome studies and CCTA plaque studies showing benefit, all for a 2a recommendation? sciencedirect.com/science/arβ¦

Breaking: Abstract from the 21st @WCIRDC Hits 1M Views! π @BudoffMd presents groundbreaking research on the #KetogenicDiet. The #KETO Trial explores carbohydrate restriction-induced elevations in #LDL-cholesterol and #atherosclerosis. Watch now! teapaw.org/realDaveFeldman/statusβ¦
π¨π¨π¨π¨π¨π¨π¨π¨
BREAKING: @BudoffMd has now presented the matched analysis for:
KETO (#LMHRstudy) vs Control (#MiHeart)
-πPlease RTπ-
METHODS βΒ 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 βΒ 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.
π¨ 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
π¨ There was no significant difference in CAC (median and IQR) [0 (0,56)] versus [1 (0, 49)], p = 0.520
π¨ No relationship of LDL-C elevations and plaque
β οΈ 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.
πππ to everyone -- and I mean everyone -- who helped us get to this pivotal milestone. πππ

Will the new and emerging therapeutic approaches described control hypertension and reduce disparities? Perhaps, but we must use the tools and methods we have now and apply newer therapies withΒ equity in mind. @GoHealio
