From one piece The Coronary Artery Inflammation Controversy 3 beliefs, in the piece's order there

korrents.com
Inflammation's role in coronary artery disease is proven, not hypothetical; what is missing is a safe and potent way to reduce it.

Their words

The “inflammation hypothesis” is not a hypothesis.

A coronary calcium score of zero does not mean the arteries are free of disease, and in a younger adult it is far weaker reassurance than it looks.

Their words

We know that arteries with a calcium (CAC) score of zero can be highly inflamed, and that high CAC scores are not necessarily high-risk for cardiovascular events.

A drug that moves a surrogate blood marker in the right direction cannot be assumed to prevent heart attacks and strokes.

Their words

We can’t count on surrogate blood markers to guide the results of cardiovascular clinical outcome trials.

A coronary calcium score of zero does not mean the arteries are free of disease, and in a younger adult it is far weaker reassurance than it looks.

Their words

In other words, the absence of calcium is not the same as the absence of disease—it may simply mean the disease hasn’t reached the stage CAC is designed to detect.

What is a korrent?

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.

Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.

Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post

Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.

The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.

Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
