Warrick believes educated patients get the best health care. Discover and understand the latest approaches and technology in heart care and how this might apply to you or someone you love.

In this podcast, Doctor Warrick Bishop interviews Associate Professor David Colquhoun, a cardiologist and co-president at the prevention arm of the Cardiac Society of Australia, New Zealand.

They discuss a recent debate on the merits of cholesterol and whether doctors have it right. They criticize the opposing team's arguments, including Mary Ann DeMasi's controversial Catalyst program, Ross Walker's claim that only one out of 19 people on statins need to be on it, and Anthony Shappie's focus on fructose and inflammation as the drivers for plaque formation.

They also discuss Doctor Malhotra's comments on interpreting data appropriately and Big Pharma's vested interest. They emphasize the importance of LDL particle levels, Mediterranean-style diets, and improving risk factors to prevent outcomes. They also stress the need for a holistic approach to coronary disease, including assessing for depression.
