Approach to Prevention in Cardiovascular Disease

Dr. Greg Katz, a cardiologist at NYU Langone Health, takes us through a comprehensive approach to preventing cardiovascular disease in a patient with multiple risk factors. Using a patient case, Dr. Katz explains how to balance lifestyle changes with medical interventions and the role of imaging in risk assessment. He also discusses advanced lipid testing including Apolipoprotein B (apoB) and lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)), and the evolving use of medications like statins and GLP-1 agonists.
