Urinary Metal Levels and Coronary Artery Calcification: Longitudinal Evidence in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis

In this episode, Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses a groundbreaking study linking urinary metal levels, particularly non-essential metals like cadmium and uranium, to coronary artery calcification, highlighting their potential role in cardiovascular disease. The findings underscore the urgent need for public health initiatives to address environmental metal exposure, as they could significantly mitigate cardiovascular risks and health disparities.
