In an observational multi-centre study (HEROS), the effects of starting treatment with rosuvastatin were assessed, on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) goal achievement, in patients with a dissimilar high-risk profile who had not been treated with cholesterol lowering drugs at least in the past three months. Also set-up costs of rosuvastatin treatment and proportional changes in LDL-C and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were studied.
