In this special live episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Tom Hight, a board-certified lipidologist and internal medicine specialist, at the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS) Conference. Dr. Hight has spent years pioneering cardiovascular risk reduction strategies, but an alarming trend caught his attention—patients with seemingly improving heart health were still experiencing worsening artery disease. His search for answers led him to Lyme disease and tick-borne illnesses as potential hidden drivers of cardiovascular risk.
Key Takeaways
Lyme Disease as a Cardiovascular Risk Factor Dr. Hight explains how chronic infections like Lyme disease contribute to inflammation in the endothelial cells, leading to increased risks of heart attacks, strokes, sudden cardiac death, and dementia.
Endothelial Stress and Inflammation Chronic inflammation from Lyme disease can damage the arteries and accelerate heart disease, even in patients actively managing their cardiovascular health.
Challenges in Diagnosis and Treatment Lyme disease is often overlooked in traditional cardiology, leaving many patients without proper treatment. Dr. Hight discusses the need for cross-disciplinary collaboration to better identify and manage these cases.
Biomarkers and Early Detection New biomarkers are needed to detect Lyme-related inflammation in white blood cells, providing earlier intervention opportunities before significant cardiovascular damage occurs.
Genetics vs. Lifestyle Factors While genetics play a role, Dr. Hight emphasizes that small, daily health choices can override genetic predispositions and dramatically reduce cardiovascular risk.
Conclusion Dr. Hight’s groundbreaking work at the intersection of Lyme disease and cardiovascular health highlights the urgent need for better diagnostic tools, interdisciplinary collaboration, and early intervention strategies. This conversation is a must-listen for both healthcare professionals and the Lyme community.
