Are You Sure Your Heart is Healthy?

If your cholesterol numbers look “normal,” does that mean your heart and blood vessels are actually healthy?

Could early vascular damage be developing long before symptoms appear?

This discussion dives into what most routine checkups might miss.

Host and IMA Senior Fellow Dr. Mollie James was joined by Robert Long, CEO and Co-founder of Genesis Health Sciences and President of the Glycocalyx Research Institute, along with Hans Vink, professor of Circulatory Physics at the University of Amsterdam and a leading researcher in endothelial glycocalyx science.

They explored:

  • Why vascular health goes far beyond basic cholesterol panels
  • What the endothelial glycocalyx is, and why it matters
  • How advanced diagnostics may detect cardiovascular risk before symptoms appear
  • What proactive prevention could look like in clinical practice
  • If we truly want to prevent heart disease - not just react to it… we need better tools and deeper insight.

"An interesting webinar and actually it seems this explains a lot of the “unexplained” blockages and heart problems I’ve been hearing about where the cholesterol numbers are low but heart problems nevertheless appear. I learned a lot! "

Many of us are on Lisinopril and Amlodopine to keep our blood pressure down. Now we are hearing that these medications actually can cause long-term harm. Can you address this and give us some better alternatives for controlling blood pressure? Thank you.

Thank you for the “Know your Numbers” Discussion last night. Can’t wait to further digest this discussion.

This is so relevant - pretty astounding is a better description.

Bless the 2 men who have invested wisely of their life skills, for decades, to help their fellow man, as they kept digging and testing.

There are going to be so many beneficiaries of this critical work. This flips proactive heart health upside down- then renal failure, and so much more.

Well organized, easy to understand- and that clarity will find its way forward so that people can easily understand profound new knowledge.

Bless IMA again.
