Statins, a type of cholesterol-lowering therapy, block a substance in the liver that is responsible for making cholesterol. Along with diet and exercise, statins may help the body to maintain lower, healthier cholesterol levels. In certain individuals, this may lower the risk for a major cardiovascular event such as a heart attack or stroke. The infographic to the left helps explain how statins work to keep the heart healthy.
