ABOUT THIS VIDEO: Which type of arterial plaque is better—calcified or soft plaque? According to the Honda study, calcified/hard plaque is safer and more stable than soft plaque. Here are the crucial points:

(a) In ultrasound, "echogenic" appears as solid, white mass. "Echolucent" would be transparent.
(b) Soft plaques are echolucent. 29 CV events happened in 112 patients with echolucent plaque (25.9%).
(c) Hard/calcified plaques are echogenic. Only 4 events happened in 103 patients without echolucent plaque (3.9%).

ABOUT DR. BREWER:
Dr. Brewer started as an Emergency Doctor. After seeing too many preventable heart attacks, he went to Johns Hopkins to learn Preventive Medicine. While there, he went on the run the post-graduate training program (residency) in Preventive Medicine. From there, he made a career of practicing and managing preventive medicine and primary care clinics. His later role in this area was Chief Medical Officer for Premise, which has close to 1,000 primary care/prevention clinics. He was also the Chief Medical Officer for MDLIVE, the second largest telemedicine company. More recently, he founded PrevMed, a heart attack & stroke prevention clinic.

At PrevMed, we focus on heart attack, stroke, and cognitive decline. We serve patients who have already experienced an event as well as those who have not developed a diagnosis or event. Dr. Brewer provides services via telemedicine or in-person if you're in the Lexington, KY area. We find a lot of undiagnosed prediabetes or insulin resistance. Treating unrecognized risk factors like prediabetes allows the reduction of risk and prevention of disease.
