Thoughts?
Secondly, Ivor Cummins makes a clear case for the use of CT calcium scores as a superior screen for heart disease and predictor of heart attack risk.
As a GP (Family doctor), this has changed my practice in 2 ways:
1. Incorporating fasting and postload insulin measurements for more patients
2. increased use of CT CAL in cardiovascular risk assessment
What is less clear to me is what to do with Dr Kraft's 2,3,4 pattern diabetes in situ in people with normoglycaemia. Does it mean more than they will soon develop type 2 diabetes? Are their endothelial cells undergoing oxidative stress?
Thank you Ivor!
