## Resource

This week, Dr. Kahn reviews new data from the Global Burden of Disease study analyzing the relationship between diet and death from heart disease. In 2023, an estimated 5.9 million deaths worldwide were linked to poor dietary choices, led by excessive sodium intake and insufficient consumption of fruit and whole grains. It's a fascinating and important study with clear takeaways. Other topics include stents for angina, causes of sudden cardiac death, daytime napping and health outcomes, plastic-free diets, PCSK9 inhibitors vs. statins, calcium supplements, and the purity of fish oil samples.
