(5:00) He defines an LMHR (Lean Mass Hyper Responder) as high LDL, high HDL, and low triglycerides. He explains his background to folks unfamiliar with him. (7:00) Dave is an engineer and noticed a pattern or system. He shares the study with LMHR was about and some of its challenges. Awareness of LMHR is growing, so it should be studied even further. Funding such studies is difficult; however, the low-carb community has stepped up. The study analyzes how much LDL independently induces a high rate of atherosclerosis (lesions on the artery walls). (23:00) The participants are part of a year-long study that will measure plaque volume and soft plaque progression. The majority of studies done are on people who already have various diseases. (32:00) Dave would like to see a larger percentage of studies done on healthy populations to find a common baseline of biomarkers. Dave shares some information about Dr. Matthew Budoff's presentation that may be more useful to view on YouTube. To view the slides go to Vinnie's YouTube channel for this episode to view the discussion. (36:00) It discusses the quantifying of atherosclerosis with CCTA. Dave goes through the slides and explains the findings. A total plaque sore is discussed. (48:45) LDL cholesterol does not correlate with the progression of plaque. The caveat: this is preliminary data and more information needs to be collected. (56:50) Both Dave and Vinnie hope that the funding they have received for projects will help people learn and be empowered.
