What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Description of adherence to treatment with Bempedoic acid in a real-life Italian population
Time Frame: 6-12-24-36 months
Adherence will be assessed in terms of Medical Possession Ratio (MPR), which is defined as the ratio between the treatment units dispensed during the treatment period and the duration of the treatment period itself.
6-12-24-36 months
Description of efficacy of treatment with Bempedoic acid in a real-life Italian population
Time Frame: 6-12-24-36 months
Efficacy of treatment will be evaluated as a change in the LDL (deltaLDL) value from the start of treatment (percentage and absolute value).
6-12-24-36 months
Description of persistence to treatment with Bempedoic acid in a real-life Italian population
Time Frame: 6-12-24-36 months
Persistence will be assessed in terms of therapeutic continuity from the start of treatment to enrollment.
6-12-24-36 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Description of safety of treatment with Bempedoic acid in a real-life Italian population
