Blood Work Decoded: Understanding the "Why" Behind Heart Disease and PAD
Saturday LIVE on "The Heart of Innovation," Global PAD Association CEO Kym McNicholas and Dr. John Phillips welcome vascular surgeon Dr. Lily Johnston from Scripps La Jolla in California to discuss the root causes of peripheral artery disease and heart conditions.
Dr. Johnston brings her extensive background (Princeton, Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins) to explore how advanced blood work can reveal underlying issues that traditional approaches might miss. She'll decode:
• What your lipid panel actually means for your vascular health
• Key blood cell markers everyone should understand
• Why anemia frequently accompanies cardiovascular conditions
• Which specialized tests to discuss with your doctor
As founder of the Vascular Health Institute, Dr. Johnston takes a metabolic approach to vascular disease, focusing on prevention and addressing underlying causes rather than just managing symptoms.
