Brief Summary

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

The investigators will build patient and physician education programs to improve compliance in TURKEY. Our aim is to assess patients' and physicians' attitudes to statins by mean of HABIT Patient and Physician survey respectively.
