Study
Your bad cholesterol puts you at risk for cardiovascular problems
About the study sponsored by Diex Recherche:
Living with high cholesterol isn't always something you feel... but it's one of the biggest risk factors for serious cardiovascular events.
In some people, despite lifestyle changes or even medication, the level of bad fats remains too high. And when you add to that a diagnosis or a significant risk of cardiovascular disease, the danger becomes very real.
These include myocardial infarctions. Strokes. Unexpected hospitalizations.
And too often, these events occur without warning...
That's why Diex Research is launching this new clinical study on a treatment in development targeting the reduction of bad cholesterol in people:
With high levels of bad cholesterol, with or without current medication for this condition. Patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease or at high risk of experiencing a first episode
This treatment could represent a promising new option for preventing serious cardiovascular complications.
