Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of a combination treatment called triple therapy, which includes bempedoic acid, ezetimibe, and either atorvastatin or rosuvastatin. This study focuses on patients with primary hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia who are at high or very high cardiovascular risk. The goal is to understand how well this combination lowers LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) in a real-world clinical setting. The study observes patients who have already started triple therapy within the last four weeks. No drugs are administered as part of this study; instead, it monitors the ongoing treatment with bempedoic acid combined with ezetimibe and either rosuvastatin or atorvastatin. The study measures LDL-C changes from baseline to eight weeks after starting triple therapy and continues follow-up for one year to assess lipid goal achievement, adherence to therapy, treatment changes, laboratory value shifts, and occurrence of cardiovascular events. Participants will have their LDL-C levels and other lab values assessed at baseline, eight weeks, and one year after starting triple therapy. Researchers will collect data on adverse events, adherence to treatment, and cardiovascular outcomes such as heart attack, stroke, death from cardiovascular causes, and coronary procedures during the follow-up year. The study also tracks treatment pathways and changes over this period to better understand real-world use and effectiveness of this triple therapy approach.
