Excellent discussions on the use of imaging for personalized prevention! I agree with most points, but I consider biomarkers and imaging as complementary tools, not mutually exclusive.

Zero CAC? LDL Cholesterol May Not Predict MI, ASCVD | tctmd.com tctmd.com/news/zero-cac-…

Thank you my good friend Miguel Cainzos-Achirica. It was a pleasure.

As we continue to learn, the presence of CAC with elevated LDL is the most robust predictor of whom is at risk of 'high' LDL. Not everyone develops ASCVD from high lipids, just like all women do not develop breast cancer.
