description Despite widespread knowledge in the management of patients with lipid metabolism disorders, their application in clinical practice is insufficient. Identification of barriers to the implementation of key principles of clinical guidelines in routine practice is the first step of the implementation study.Aim. To assess the organization and quality of care for patients with dyslipidemia in order to identify barriers to the implementation of the main principles of clinical guidelines in practice.Material and methods. An implementation study was planned, the initial stage of which was to conduct an anonymous online questionnaire among health care representatives of various levels in all Russian subjects.Results. The study involved 788 physicians, 124 heads of medical organizations and 48 chief freelance specialists from 84 Russian subjects. A wide range of barriers was identified: low availability of lipoprotein (a) testing (66,6% of physicians), coronary calcium index (79,4% of physicians, 71,8% of heads of a medical organizations, 79,2% of chief freelance specialists) and CT angiography (70,0% of physicians, 71,0% of heads of a medical organizations, 85,4% of chief freelance specialists). Lack of funds to manage lipid service (55,6% of heads of a medical organizations, 35,4% of chief freelance specialists). The key barrier to regular lipid-lowering therapy and achieving target low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels is lack of perceived need for treatment in patients (58,1% of physicians, 80,0% of heads of a medical organizations, 87,5% of chief freelance specialists), for PCSK9-targeted therapy — high cost (44,1% of physicians, 34,7% of heads of a medical organizations, 23,0% of chief freelance specialists). The possible fixed-dose combination therapy for dyslipidemia was positively perceived (59,7% of physicians, 42,0% of heads of a medical organizations, 35,4% of chief freelance specialists). Inclusion of innovative therapy in medicine assistance program will improve the situation in achieving target LDL-C levels (85,6% of physicians, 91,1% of heads of a medical organizations, 95,8% of chief freelance specialists).Conclusion. A wide range of barriers to the implementation of clinical guidelines on lipid metabolism disorders into practice have been identified. Based on the results obtained, the second stage of the implementation study will identify strategies aimed at eliminating the identified barriers.
