Guest: Dr Muhammad Dzafir Ismail, Consultant Cardiologist, KPJ Damansara Specialist Hospital, Sharaad Kuttan, BFM Presenter
What we know of cholesterol comes from sensational headlines about eggs and santan, or the bewildering numbers that appear on a lab report from a screening test. For many, cholesterol remains an abstract concept—until it becomes a personal one. Sharaad Kuttan, BFM presenter, who recently underwent a cholesterol test, shares his journey of discovering high cholesterol and how he’s facing his diagnosis. Alongside, consultant cardiologist Dr Muhammad Dzafir Ismail from KPJ Damansara Specialist Hospital highlights the role of statins and advanced therapies in managing high cholesterol, and addresses some of the fears and misconceptions associated with cholesterol treatment.
This interview is part of Unblocked, a movement for heart health by Novartis.
