Summary
This registry is tracking 1,500 Italian patients who are prescribed alirocumab 300 mg injections for high cholesterol. Researchers want to see how consistently patients take the medication and how well it lowers their cholesterol in real-life settings. The study also monitors side effects. It is purely observational and does not test a new treatment.
