Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of global mortality. Among the many risk factors for cardiovascular disease, it's long been known that high cholesterol increases the risk for heart attacks and stroke. In today's episode of Beyond the Abstract, Derek and Dan discuss two new papers that challenge commonly held beliefs about the way in which cholesterol increases the risk for cardiovascular disease. They finish by talking about a new type of genetic medicine to lower cholesterol and reduce the risk for cardiovascular disease.
