Dearbhail

Are some people nervous about that?

Or has our understanding of the treatment of high cholesterol changed in recent years?

One of our listeners said, is red yeast rice effective?

Yeah.

Can I ask you about, obviously, just our relationship with alcohol?

I think it's changing, but historically that's been a challenge for us, obviously, particularly in the Western world with rising levels of obesity.

The GLP-1 revolution, and I know that those weight loss drugs are having much, much broader applications.

Do you think that's something that can and will help in terms of heart health?

I think I'm going to have to have you back, Professor Robert Byrne, because we're getting a lot of questions in, very, very specific ones.

But finally, just before I let you go, if there was one message you would like our listeners to take away about heart health and prevention, what is it?

And don't smoke.

Well, listen, there we go.

Don't smoke, kids.

And listen, Professor Robert Byrne, Director of Cardiology at The Matter, Private and Head of Cardiovascular Research at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland.

Thank you for joining us today.
