Why Waiting Until Age 50 To Address Risk Factors For Heart Disease Is Too Late.

Dr. Paddy Barrett

The reason: They were accumulating plaque in their coronary arteries much earlier than their peers. You can’t have a heart attack if you don’t have plaque in your coronary arteries. And plaque in your coronary arteries is the result of exposure to risk factors over time. The answer: Risk Factors. The answer.
