KETO-CTA (
#LMHRstudy) vs Matched Controls (
#MiHeart)
METHODS β 80 participants from the
#LMHRstudy were matched 1:1 with asymptomatic subjects from
#MiHeart, considering age, gender, race, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and smoking history.
PRIMARY ANALYSIS β High-resolution heart scans (
#CCTA) were used for evaluating Total Plaque Score (TPS), Total Stenosis Score (TSS), and Segment Involvement Score (SIS).
RESULTS
Matched mean age: 55.5 years, with average
#LDL cholesterol of 272 mg/dL (max LDL-C of 591 mg/dL) after an average of 4.7 years on a ketogenic diet.
π¨ There was no significant difference in coronary plaque burden between the
#LMHRstudy group (mean LDL-C 272) and
#MiHeart controls (mean LDL-C 123 mg/dL); note: pre-KETO LDL-C in the KETO group was 122 mg/dL.
π¨ No significant difference in CAC (median and IQR) [0 (0, 56)] vs [1 (0, 49)], p = 0.520.
