Episode Details

Two podcasts. One conversation. A meeting of minds at the intersection of lipidology and cardiovascular pharmacy.

In this special collaboration episode, Lipid Insights joins forces with The Tell-Tale Heart: The Pharmacist's Cardiovascular Digest for a wide-ranging discussion on where lipid management stands today and where it's heading. Host Craig J. Beavers, PharmD sits down with NLA Executive Council Chair Michael J. Wilkinson, MD, FNLA for a conversation that every cardiovascular clinician and pharmacist needs to hear right now. 

The discussion spans the 2026 Multi-Society Dyslipidemia Guideline and what implementation actually looks like in practice; the current state of Lp(a) science and what clinicians should be doing about it today; the cardiovascular risk implications of inflammatory diseases and how they should shape patient management; and the return to threshold-based lipid targets. 

A timely and clinically rich conversation that reflects the best of what happens when two communities dedicated to cardiovascular health sit down together.
