I have read that study. It has been a while and I am not an expert in either cardiology or statistical analysis, so I will refrain from commenting on that.
But, "heart attach as diagnostic tool?" I know that it is fashionable and trendy to be anti establishment and "big health," but neither of us really believe that. I have had blood tests, stress tests, calcium CT scans, family history.....all of that stuff is indicative of cardiovascular disease. To imply that Big Medicine waits until you have a heart attack to diagnose disseize is just absurd.
