Just finished a fantastic week lecturing with Dr Wayne Peters. Lipids and lipoproteins, Apo B, Lp (a), sterols, advances in diabetes, metabolic syndrome, genomics and more. It was a delightful week on the Celebrity Apex (most beautiful ship I’ve ever sailed) . Lectures are always planned only on days we are “at sea” so plenty of time to visit the Norwegian Fjords. What a spectacular part of the world!. I am truly honored to have met such a wonderful group of clinicians. These courses at sea are a great way to earn CME and enjoy vacation at the same time.

We want to support patients, families, friends, and any health care providers during these difficult days ahead.


FREE SUPPORT-ON-HAND for anyone in need.

I have a colleague and friend who has worked with the doctors and nurses in the ICU and ER. She, like many, now quarantined and wanting to help from home. She is willing to provide emotional and spiritual support during this unsettling time in our world.

Her words to ask each of us:

Are you in need of emotional, grief or spiritual support during this time of crisis? Are you asking yourself:

*Why is this happening to me and the world?
*How will I manage everything?
*How do I cope with all the emotions jumping around inside of me?
*What impact with this have on me and my family, our finances, our health?
*How will I find any meaning or hope during this crisis?
*What do I do next?

Emotional anguish, spiritual distress and physical suffering can all be reactions to events that surround us.

The new European 2019 lipid guidelines recommend high dose statins (and ezetimibe if needed) to aggressively lower LDL-C. Also it is recommended to measure lp (a) once. I am happy to see some acknowledgement of importance of lp (a) but seems counterintuitive here. High dose statins increase lp (a) and aortic stenosis risk! At least 30 % of patients have lp (a) elevation and higher % in the secondary prevention population. High dose statins also don't help hyperabsorbers of cholesterol (look at 4S study). That is 20 % of people. Shouldn't guidelines at minimum "do no harm"? Those of us who have been measuring lp (a) and Apo B or LDL P for decades now know how predictable that "statin induced increase" is in both hyperabsorpers and genetically elevated lp (a). I guess these and other guidelines just keep the "virtual lipid clinic" in business but it is unfortunate. I would love to see this disease trend reverse and would love to have a reason to retire. I suspect in 10 years this will get figured out by the decision makers. Until then we keep trying to discuss this when given the opportunity at medical education events.

So honored to have received this award very early in my life when the journey had just begun. (1990) A wonderful organization that supports leadership in women in our local community. Thank you for including me with this amazing group of women. Honored to be part of your story.

This email received from a patient only a few minutes ago broke my heart. Please understand how powerful prevention can be. The labs we run will detect hidden risk for heart disease and diabetes so we can intervene and prevent these horrible stories from happening. I have been doing this for 20 years and I am 100 % convinced we can prevent the vast majority of heart attacks from happening but we need to be empowered with information beyond cholesterol and glucose. Please spread the word and seek out doctors who respect and understand the power of advanced biomarkers like NMR LDL Particle concentration and lipoprotein (a).

"Hi Dr. Dall,

As you can see from the attached email, unfortunately I was informed yesterday that my Internist passed away. I started going to Dr. G, shortly after my wife and I started seeing you, in order to establish a local physician. Dr. G was 42 years old and passed away on Dec 17th 2017 leaving behind a wife, a 2 year old daughter and a 6 day old son. Tragically, he passed away from a massive heart attack.

Like many physicians, I'm sure, his office was always chock full of people who were well beyond the preventive medicine stage and he probably had a lot of patients with multiple complex health issues. I'm sure dealing with these complexities day in and day out is unbelievably stressful. As I think I may have told you, I got the impression that Dr. G thought I was going overboard on heart disease and diabetes prevention. He pushed back at me when he saw all the testing you ordered for me and the medications diet and supplements you recommended. I wish he would have had the same in-depth information about his 'numbers' and genetic disposition as I do...

I'm glad there are physicians out there like you trying to prevent these heart breaking and tragic stories.

Regards,

Ron
