Brief summary
This is a multi-centre non-interventional study of patients who are treated with any HMGCoA reductase inhibitor available in Croatia (rosuvastatin, simvastatin, atorvastatin and fluvastatin) for at least 6 months. All HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors must be prescribed in accordance with SmPCs approved in Croatia. Data collection for each patient will take place at a single visit.
