Prof. Dr. Uwe Nixdorff, cardiologist, preventive medicine specialist, and founder of the European Prevention Center, explains why men's hearts really "beat differently" and how we can prevent heart attacks before they occur. We discuss evidence-based prevention rather than hype, modern imaging (ultrasound, calcium score & CCTA, whole-body MRI), and why self-efficacy, exercise, and stress management ultimately matter more than the 100th pill.
