Abstract

Dyslipidemia is one of the most important modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Prevention and treatment of dyslipidaemias should always be considered within the broader framework of cardiovascular disease prevention. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of lipid-lowering therapy in a group of Polish patients with hyperlipidemia. The present results are the first report from the OSLO-Pol study.
