Overview
Brief Summary
This study is being done to see whether dietary and medicinal measures compliant with hyperlipidemia treatment guidelines will result in achieving target lipid values and to evaluate the total risk of cardiovascular disease in study participants who have not reached satisfactory lipid levels with their current hypolipemic therapy.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Percentage of Participants Achieving Target Lipid Values
Time Frame: Baseline and Month 3
Target total cholesterol value was \<4.5 mmol/L and target low densisty lipoprotein (LDL) value was \<2.5 mmol/L
Percentage of Participants With Reduced Cardiovascular Risk
Time Frame: Baseline and Month 3
Cardiovascular risk assessment to determine the 10-year risk for developing cardiovascular disease was done using Framingham risk scoring; categories scored are age, high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol value, total cholesterol value, history of cigarette smoking, and systolic blood pressure. The total of all the points for each risk factor is used to assign a percentage of risk for the occurence of cardiovascular disease within 10 years. Total points for men range from -9 to +37 and for women from -8 to +46; \>=17 total points for men, and \>=25 total points for women indicates a \>=30% risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
