I've been listening to Attia since his first podcast (heard him first on Tim Ferris, I think), and I didn't know until this latest episode that he's got a calcified artery. No wonder he's pro-statin! I've actually softened on the statins in recent years. While it's true that there were greedy pharma companies pushing them, and clueless doctors not monitoring for side effects closely enough, the formulations have improved, and doctors have had time to get their schtuff together with monitoring.
One thing in that episode that bothered me a little was how a zero calcium score might miss a calcification. I got a zero about 10 years ago and quit worrying about it, even though my lipids ain't great. Things are such with me that my heart will probably be the least of my problems when I depart.
