Brief Summary

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

The use of lipid lowering agents in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies is controversial. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to assess clinically and laboratory the impact of lipid-lowering agents in this population.
