Very I formative! Thank you all. Just a quick note. My sleep continues to be great with sunrise 🌅 visits. That’s been truly remarkable for me since I’ve had sleep problems most of my life. it’s been a wonderful way to start the day. It gives me noticeable increased energy for the day. Its free and beautiful😊.

I hope to join live but if not- here are several question? Can you address apple watch efficiency in monitoring HRV? In attempting to increase cardio fitness with dx of asvd how is it best to know safe maximum heart rate and for what duration? There seems to be a risk even if asymptomatic. How often should you monitor an APO B level, if implementing dietary and exercise changes ? Please explain the blood tests to identify whether you’re a high producer of cholesterol or a high absorber? Have there been any current research on specific guidelines for reversing cardiovascular disease? I was aware of Dean Ornish‘s model but not have not seen any newer research. Thank in advance for having this forum. It is always so helpful in keeping the management of a cardiac disease in focus for me. It’s unfortunate years ago that we didn’t know the importance and impact of family history on cardiac disease. I’ve been seeing a cardiologist for 40+ years and it was never mentioned to me. It was my own research years ago that prompted my attention to it and to you ! How was it that the knowledge took so long to come to light in medical school/education and practice? Many thanks for educating all of us!

AI Can Now Detect Hypertension and Diabetes From a 30-Second Video of Your Face
This week at ESC Congress 2026 (Munich, August 28–31), researchers from the University of Tokyo and Institute of Science Tokyo presented data showing that AI analysis of facial videos can detect undiagnosed hypertension and diabetes with remarkable accuracy — no blood test, no cuff, no clinic visit required. Here's how it works: a high-speed spectroscopic camera records a 30-second video of your face and palms. A machine-learning algorithm extracts pulse-wave dynamics (arterial stiffness markers), skin blood flow patterns, and the spectral characteristics of skin coloring — all of which correlate with blood pressure and blood sugar regulation. The numbers: • Hypertension detection: 95% accuracy from a 30-second recording • Still 90.3% accurate from just a 5-second video • Diabetes detection: similarly high accuracy using facial blood flow patterns This isn't speculative — it's a prospective clinical study. And the implication is significant: a world where cardiovascular risk screening happens through a phone camera at the pharmacy counter, at a wellness clinic, or at a routine eye exam. For preventive cardiology, this is the future of population-level risk stratification — finding the undiagnosed 30-79 year olds with hypertension (there are ~1.4 billion globally) who never come in for a clinic visit because they feel fine.

In hope, this means a healthier population for the younger generation.

September 2026 - Ask Me Anything (AMA) - Monday 9/14 at 5pm CST
I will be discussing my take on the recently announced failure of Pelacarsen to lower cardiac events in patients with elevated Lp(a) If you are unable to attend LIVE and want to ask a question, then please leave the question in the comments of this posts and I will answer it We will see how a hybrid of asynchronous questions with Live questions work to increase the volume of questions and educational opportunities for this group's members

Dr. Twyman , I have several questions. Would like your thoughts on the benefit of CoQ10 as I am on a statin. I do tolerate the statin fairly well. I’m also wondering if given the issues with potential blood sugar and liver side effects would it be best to switch to a more current anti-lipid medication? Are statins still the first line for hyperlipidemia? Also, what is the blood test that would be needed to identify your LDL oxidation level and can you get a single serum blood test for it? Lastly, what is been your experience with the connect monitor for arterial blood pressure? Is there still a discount offered for your affiliation? How often do you recommend monitoring blood pressure? I am interested in decreasing the amount of supplements. Can you speak to the most important supplements for cardiovascular disease and how might you prioritize them? Thank you in advance and also for generously sharing of podcasts, articles, interview of the most current information regarding cardiac health. 🧐😊

I am 74 yo. Trying to minimize further cardiac issues with lifestyle changes and clinical decisions guided by Dr. Twymans knowledge.
