Education and Awareness Program Targeting the Assessment of Adherence of the Treatment of Dyslipidemia

Study Overview

Brief Summary
-----------------
Evaluate the benefit (rate of adherence to the treatment), based on the LDL-C reduction in the group that will be exposed to the program of reinforcement of orientation aimed to the patients, compared to the control group, both in previous use of rosuvastatin.
