Josh is one of the smartest people I have ever met with regards to CVD. With his conversational writing style, simple analogies, and excellent illustrations this is a fantastic read for both patients AND clinicians. Highly recommend!

“The Home Security System and the Lipid Neighborhood” is now available! My good friend Josh did a great job writing his book! For only $10 you could learn how to prevent heart disease!

Clinical question: 50 y/o woman with well controlled, now asymptomatic, non-ischemic cardiomyopathy inquiring about safety of HRT for menopausal symptoms. Is it safe? Most data seems to be focused on ASCVD/thrombosis risk but not CHF risk.
