Özet
Background: Statins are frequently prescribed drugs for patients with coronary heart disease according to evidence-based medicine. However, compliance with these agents has still been far from ideal, since they require long term, probably life long therapy. We conducted a survey on patients who were already on statin treatment and evaluated their level of awareness of prescribed statins.
