Three biomarkers that reveal your increased risk of heart disease
You may be sailing along, thinking you’re doing a good job of taking care of yourself. After all, your LDL is 110 mg/dL and you’re only a little overweight, when — bam! You have a heart attack.
That wake-up call may happen because you weren’t paying close enough attention to five biomarkers: genetic risks, blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, waist size and inflammation — that each measure a different pathway to heart disease.
Three of those biomarkers may be new to you. A study presented at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions looked at the impact of lipoprotein (a), remnant cholesterol (associated with triglycerides) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (an inflammation marker) on your risk for heart attack. Turns out that folks with elevated le
vels of all three had a 300% increased risk of a heart attack compared to folks without those biomarkers. Folks with two elevated biomarkers had a 200% increased risk, and those with one had a 45% increased risk.
So, if your LDL level is above 70 mg/dL, you’re overweight, have a waist size that’s more than half your height and/or have diabetes or another chronic disease, ask your doctor to check these three markers. If any is elevated, take steps to roll back your risk and achieve a younger ActualAge (take the test at 4YOUngevity.com). A combo of smart medicines (a statin and/or a GLP-1 — it promotes heart health independent of weight loss), increased physical activity, stress management and a diet upgrade offers serious protection.
