Over the past three decades, cardiovascular-related deaths have been steadily increasing, and in 2021, heart diseaseRead
Advanced lipid testing goes beyond traditional cholesterol panels, providing detailed insights into cardiovascular risk factors like Lp(a), apoB, and LDL-P. Discover how these tests support risk stratification, personalized treatments, and improved patient outcomes.
Lipoprotein(a), abbreviated as LP(a), is a unique lipoprotein particle that has garnered increasing attention in recent years due to its significant role in cardiovascular health. As an emerging biomarker, LP(a) is now recognized as a crucial factor in assessing a patient’s risk for atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease (CAD), and otherRead

Synthetic medicines typically create more problems than they claim to solve. They are “one track” solutions to problems thatRead
“Endothelial glycocalyx (eGCx) deterioration is considered an early step in the onset of basically all chronic vascular complications.” In this article, I want to share with you information regarding the glycocalyx (eGCx). This is an aspect of CV health/disease that I suspect not a lot of practitioners have knowledge aboutRead
The Hibiscus plant is well-known for its brightly colored flowers, ranging from white and yellow to pink and red. For centuries, traditional medicine practitioners have used many of the over 200 species of Hibiscus. You may be familiar with Hibiscus, known as “sour tea” in Iran, a delicious and refreshingRead
In the United States, approximately 47% of adults have hypertension, a condition characterized by consistently elevated blood pressure. This statistic is concerning as high blood pressure is a significant risk factor for serious health issues, including heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease. Elevated blood pressure often goes unnoticed due toRead
In this episode of the OneMedicine Podcast, featuring Dr Mark Houston, we discuss dyslipidemia including common misconceptions, suggested testing, and an overview of the highly personalized approach he recommends for successful outcomes. “Precision and personalized cardiovascular medicine must be the new medicine of today and the future,” says Mark Houston,Read
