Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to demonstrate whether, along with dietary recommendations, Armolipid Plus ® can improve the profile of patients with elevated plasma LDL-C acting as a change of lifestyle therapy (TLC) according to the definition of Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III)

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Recently reported that the combination of extract of red yeast rice policosanol composed, berberine, folic acid and coenzyme Q10 (Armolipid Plus ®, Rottapharm) produced a significant improvement in lipid profile in patients with moderately elevated cholesterol levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL-C) plasma.

Taking into account the potential effect of Armolipid Plus ® on the lipid profile, it is important to investigate the effectiveness in the field of cardiovascular prevention to define its position in prevention programs.
