S4 E11: Inflammation vs Cholesterol and CVD; Bempedoic Acid; Coffee & Tea for T2DM

Om avsnittet

Welcome to another Hot Topics podcast from NB Medical with Dr Neal Tucker. With general practice becoming an increasingly popular political battleground, we focus on the latest research.

In this edition, we look at whether bempedoic acid actually reduces cardiovascular events and death as well as reducing cholesterol. Ever wondered which is more important in causing CVD: inflammation or cholesterol? A new paper in the Lancet examines this in patients already taking statins. We also explore what is best to drink if you (or your patient) have type 2 diabetes. Can coffee and tea actually be good for you?
