Show Notes
In this podcast, Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses a recent study on the use of cardiac troponins in predicting cardiovascular disease risk, showing a modest improvement when added to traditional risk factors. While the findings suggest potential benefits in population health, he emphasizes the importance of focusing on the eight core modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease rather than solely relying on biomarkers like cardiac troponins.
