Comments on: Physicians pay off a journal to publish their Pharma-sponsored cardiac screening guidelines http://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2006/07/physicians-pay-off-journal-to-publish.html Tue, 14 Feb 2012 19:56:00 +0000 hourly 1 By: Anonymoushttp://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2006/07/physicians-pay-off-journal-to-publish.html#comment-66170 Anonymous Fri, 11 Aug 2006 00:50:00 +0000 http://clients.emmense.com/kevinmd/2006/07/physicians-pay-off-a-journal-to-publish-their-pharma-sponsored-cardiac-screening-guidelines.html#comment-66170 I must disagree, based on statistics from the American Cancer Society regarding the number of deaths from breast and colon cancer (mere fractions) of the number of deaths each year from CVD, CVD screening is long overdue. A non-invasive means with a cost at a fraction of a cardiac cath just makes sense. Americans are slow to make the changes in their lives to prevent these deadly conditions therefore, in the meantime a fast, safe, noninvasive and definitive approach to screening could certainly help. I await more information with bated breath! Signed anonymously from a healthcare provider who cared for cardiac patients for over 12 years!
