This is what I needed to know to finally help prevent it.
Is there ANYTHING that won’t kill ya?

“The treatment dramatically lowered triglyceride levels by up to 50% and prevented aneurysm formation and dissection in multiple mouse models.”
Good to see that they’re slowly realizing that Triglycerides is the BIG health threat - SOME OF US have known that for at least a decade. By the way, another ‘treatment’ to greatly lower triglycerides is to simply not eat carbs, or at least greatly minimize them.
As someone who had Open Heart Surgery to repair an aortic aneurysm, they are no joke.
I was born with a Bicuspid Aortic Valve about 15 years after discovery, I was diagnosed with severe aortic stenosis, one of the tests prior to surgery to repair the valve was a CT Scan with contrast that showed the aneurysm.
I was told at the time, I could have a less invasive procedure to fix the valve and 12-18 months later Open-heart surgery to repair the aneurysm or open-heart surgery immediately to repair the valve and aneurysm, I chose to have the open heart surgery immediately.
I learned that what makes aneurysms so dangerous is the person experiencing the aneurysm suffers no symptoms prior to a dissection or rupture and that aneurysms usually are found as a result of looking for something else.
That doesn’t make sense...
High triglycerides cause plaque build up in the arteries, causing a narrowing, causing a clog = heart attack or stroke.
Aneurysms are a ballooning of the arterial walls (a weakness in the hose if you will). So this study says they’re simultaneously causing the clogging AND the ballooning of the arteries? Ehhhh... Maybe because the clogging causes HBP but that still doesn’t completely jive...
...We present an interesting case where a patient with heterozygous FH (HeFH) and elevated triglycerides (TG)-controlled for years on medication and apheresis-experienced significantly elevated TG, one day after receiving his second Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine dose. It is not known whether this adverse event may be seen in other FH patients and may be worth assessing in such patients to determine the possibility of a rare adverse reaction from a COVID-19 vaccine.
And from 2022...
High cholesterol won’t kill you. High triglycerides will.
BS. Triglycerides are the natural results of fats in the presence of carbon and nitrogen. That’s all. Humans get high triglyceride levels when our livers get so damaged by alcohol and fructose ingestion that they become incompetent at converting ingested fats into healthy cholesterol. High triglyceride numbers are one of the best indicators of liver damage and future circulatory problems. They are a useful marker which can be improved by eliminating alcohol and fructose consumption.
