A diagnosis of coronary artery disease, or CAD, should be taken seriously. But what does this mean exactly? CAD is the most common type of heart disease — 18 million adults in the U.S. live with the condition — roughly the combined populations of New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and our fair city of Houston. In this episode, we explore how we can prevent CAD from ever developing — and potentially prevent it from ever leading to heart attack or stroke.
Expert: Dr. Mahmoud Al Rifai, Preventive Cardiologist
Interviewer: Kim Rivera Huston-Weber
Notable topics covered:

  • What causes CAD — and who’s at risk
  • Cholesterol: the major culprit behind the development of arterial plaque
  • Why someone should take a CAD diagnosis seriously
  • The four types of heart disease prevention
  • How cardiologists calculate your risk for heart attack or stroke
  • Coronary artery calcium score: The CT scan that can show the severity of CAD
  • The differences between heart disease, cardiovascular disease and CAD
  • Can you reverse the effects of coronary artery disease?
  • Ways to control CAD risk factors to prevent heart attacks, stroke
  • How to move past guilt, shame after a CAD diagnosis to change the course of the condition
  • How to support a loved one with heart disease
  • How stress and mental health affects your heart health
