Participants being treated in a physician's office for hyperlipidemia who have not achieved target lipid levels on their current hypolipemic therapy.

Diet, increased physical activity, and weight reduction as per European Guidelines on the Management of Hypercholesterolemia accepted by the Croatian Society of Cardiology were encouraged in addition to pharmacological measures at the discretion of the treating physician.

Target total cholesterol value was <4.5 mmol/L and target low densisty lipoprotein (LDL) value was <2.5 mmol/L

Cardiovascular risk assessment to determine the 10-year risk for developing cardiovascular disease was done using Framingham risk scoring; categories scored are age, high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol value, total cholesterol value, history of cigarette smoking, and systolic blood pressure. The total of all the points for each risk factor is used to assign a percentage of risk for the occurence of cardiovascular disease within 10 years. Total points for men range from -9 to +37 and for women from -8 to +46; >=17 total points for men, and >=25 total points for women indicates a >=30% risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
