Cholesterol is a faulty predicter of cardiovascular disease. Check for insulin resistance (fasting insulin) and inflammation (inflammatory marker panel), instead. IF, animal based eating, and seed oil disrespecting will resolve in short order, if issues emerge. Prolonged fasting necessary for some depending on how advanced.

I knew you'd be fine. I'm glad I wasn't wrong.

It's high LDL levels over time that is going to cause atherosclerosis. Just because you don't have a high coronary calcium score now, doesn't mean you won't develop one over time with untreated high cholesterol.

Top tip: If you are worried about coronary artery disease it is far more useful to have a coronary CT angiogram done. Noninvasive, simple iV contrast bolus image. Conventional angiography is far too risky and not worth the diagnostic yield in people who are asymptomatic. Non contrast CT (aka imaging done to estimate CAC) is incomplete because non-calcified atherosclerotc plaques exist (if jot this majority in younger adults).

Topper tip: It really matters who reads the images of a coronary CTA. Source: am radiologist.
