David Watumull discusses heart health, inflammation, and hs-CRP testing on Hawaii Public Radio
Lokahi Longevity co-founder David Watumull was invited to appear on Hawaii Public Radio’s “The Conversation” to discuss hs-CRP testing, inflammation, and cardiovascular risk. In the interview, Watumull explained why inflammation deserves attention alongside LDL cholesterol, how hs-CRP testing relates to heart attack and stroke risk, and why Lokahi helped make the test available in Hawaii through a local diagnostic laboratory for $20.50.
Lokahi Longevity backs American College of Cardiology call for universal cardiovascular inflammation screening
Lokahi Longevity has launched a program advocating universal hs-CRP testing to assess cardiovascular inflammation risk, as called for by the American College of Cardiology’s recent Scientific Statement. This simple blood test helps assess the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), such as heart attack and stroke independent of LDL cholesterol.
