10 Biomarkers That Predict Heart Disease Risk | Dr. Joanette

Описание: If you’ve ever used a cardiovascular disease risk calculator and still felt unsure, this video is for you. I’m Dr. Joanette, a longevity specialist and professor of medicine, and I’m walking you through the 10 biomarkers I use to understand cardiovascular risk before a crisis happens, because heart disease isn’t just about “total cholesterol.” It’s about particles, inflammation, metabolism, genetics, and whether your heart is under strain.

I organize these labs into 3 simple buckets: atherogenic particles (the stuff that builds plaque), inflammation (what makes plaque unstable), and metabolic health + heart strain (the environment that accelerates damage). I’ll explain what each biomarker means, why it matters, and the target ranges I look for, so you can have a smarter conversation with your doctor and make a plan that protects your healthspan.
