Vishnu Priya Pulipati: Statins Beyond Cholesterol for Plaque Biology and Cardiovascular Risk Reduction

Vishnu Priya Pulipati, Founder and Host of LipidCurious Podcast, Member of Institutional Review Ethics Board at Saint Francis Health System, shared on LinkedIn:

”Let’s talk about statins. I know… boring, right?

Most of us already know a lot about them.

But thinking of statins only as cholesterol drugs misses the bigger picture.

In many ways, statins are best understood as Anti-atherosclerotic therapies that modify plaque biology, vascular inflammation, and cardiovascular risk far beyond simple LDL reduction.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Pleiotropic effects of statins beyond LDL-C lowering
  • Choosing the right statin in special populations
  • Why statins remain foundational therapy even in the era of newer lipid-lowering drugs

Bonus: Visual guide to help you navigate the episode.

Free CME/CE available for listening.
