Arterial Calcification: Risks, Causes, and Treatments [Video]

Arterial Calcification: Risks, Causes, and Treatments

In this video, Chris Scappatura interviews Dr. Sharif Ibrahim to explore the serious condition of arterial calcification, once considered an incidental finding but now known to be closely linked to hypertension, heart disease, and aortic aneurysm. Dr. Ibrahim discusses the two types of arterial calcification – intimal and medial – their implications for cardiovascular health, and the populations most at risk, including the elderly, diabetics, and those with chronic kidney disease. The conversation also covers lifestyle factors contributing to the condition, such as high calcium intake and low-fat diets lacking in fat-soluble vitamins like D3 and K2. Emphasizing the importance of dietary choices and supplementation of vitamins D3 and K2 for managing and preventing calcification, Dr. Ibrahim shares insights from studies on vitamin K2’s role in reducing vascular calcification, improving bone density, enhancing blood vessel elasticity, and its potential effects on dementia and cardiovascular mortality among postmenopausal women. The video concludes with advice on dietary sources of vitamins K2 and D3 and an uplifting message about the relative simplicity of treating or preventing arterial calcification with the right nutritional approach.
