About Dr. Pablo Corral, MD

Updated Sep 20, 2026

Dr. Pablo Corral is an internal medicine doctor and lipid specialist (lipidologist) based in Mar del Plata, Argentina. He coordinates the Lipids and Atherosclerosis Department at the ICM Institute in Mar del Plata and is a Full Professor of Pharmacology at FASTA University School of Medicine, where he teaches in the Toxicology and Special Pharmacology chairs.

His main focus is cholesterol and atherosclerosis, including familial hypercholesterolemia (an inherited high-cholesterol condition) and lipoprotein(a). He has published more than 50 papers in lipidology and atherosclerosis, contributed to Argentine national lipid guidelines (2019) and PCSK9 inhibitor guidelines (2018), and served as Past President of the Argentine Lipid Society (2022-2024). He is the national lead investigator in Argentina for the CORAL-REEF trial and the EAS Familial Hypercholesterolemia Studies Collaboration.

In public interviews and commentary, he supports treating cholesterol intensively, saying evidence "reaffirms the need to be aggressive in therapeutic targets." He is frequently quoted by Medscape in Spanish and has been interviewed by the World Heart Federation about lipoprotein(a) awareness.

He does not appear to have a standalone practice website; his office address (Rawson 1006, Mar del Plata) appears in university coverage. Because he practices in Argentina and has no U.S. NPI number, no Open Payments industry-payment data is available.
