What do they mean with “driven by the biology of aging” specifically for heart disease? We know most cases of salient heart disease e.g the disease most people get at the current ages can be prevented with early therapeutics targeting e.g LDL-C. So it might look confusing to people that have learned from Peter Attia that they can prevent most cases of CVD, and here it’s aging?
