Exploring the Impact of a Zero Carb Diet and LDL Cholesterol on Heart Disease

This chapter delves into the potential effects of a zero carb or carnivore diet on heart disease and cholesterol levels, highlighting the increase in LDL levels in some individuals. It discusses a recent study that suggests high LDL levels may not significantly progress coronary artery disease in a healthy population, but emphasizes the need for further research. The chapter also touches on patient attitudes towards taking medication post-heart attack and the importance of monitoring cardiovascular health with imaging tests like a CAC score.
