Excellent summary of our work led by Mohammadreza Naderian by Marios Georgakis Patients & providers were able to act on an integrated risk score for CHD that included PRS, leading to⬆️in statin use ➡️ lower LDL and ⬇️ CV events More RCTs are needed to assess clinical utility of PRS

I don’t care whether it comes from Democrats or Republicans—someone in government needs to start addressing this issue. Who is willing to step up?

Makes me feel good as I have been preaching this for > two decades. So many are wasting so many health care dollars by routinely ordering LDL sizes. ApoB, without particle sizes, is the needed test routinely and Lp(a) once.

We have an opportunity to save more lives around the world than ever before—and I want to do even more to help. That's why I'm giving away virtually all of my wealth through the Gates Foundation over the next 20 years.
