He Had Stage 3 Heart Disease, She Didn’t — The Truth About Plaque and Gender | ClearCardio

What if two people lived the same lifestyle, had the same high cholesterol, and got two drastically different results? In this revealing episode, JD Enright and Dr. John Osborne explore a husband-and-wife case study that exposes how heart disease doesn’t affect men and women the same way—and why looking under the hood is the only way to know.

You may think cholesterol and family history are all that matter, but this episode proves otherwise. Dr. Osborne explains how ClearCardio’s advanced AI-powered scan can detect early-stage heart disease even when labs look identical—and why risk factors don’t tell the whole story.

This episode is for:

Women who think heart disease is a “men’s issue”

Couples curious about genetic and gender differences in heart risk

Health-conscious people with high cholesterol but no symptoms

Anyone confused by conflicting health advice about plaque and risk factors

By the end of this episode, you’ll understand:

Why men tend to develop heart disease a decade earlier than women

What pregnancy complications reveal about a woman’s long-term heart risk

Why normal cholesterol doesn’t equal a clean bill of health

How ClearCardio can stage heart disease like we stage cancer—and why that matters

About the Podcast

Power Of Prevention
Hosted by ClearCardio
Welcome to Clear Cardio – the future of heart health.

Heart attacks and strokes often strike without warning. Traditional tests like stress tests and heart catheterizations, developed over 68 years ago, only detect problems when arteries are 70% blocked, missing the silent plaque that causes sudden heart attacks.

Led by Harvard-trained cardiologist Dr. John Osborne, Clear Cardio uses AI-powered imaging to detect arterial plaque decades before symptoms appear. Unlike the traditional system, which profits from expensive emergency procedures, we focus on prevention—helping you avoid heart attacks before they happen.

Our non-invasive technology reveals what other tests miss, empowering you to take control of your heart health. Don’t wait until it’s too late.
