| Description |
Investigators told the audience that almost 85% of patients wanted to know their risk of heart disease, but very few knew their real risk, assuming they were as healthy as men and women their own age. Also, more than 80% of those participating in the survey were not provided with a professional lifestyle and risk-factor management program, despite evidence that such programs are effective.

New Papers on KIF6 and CHD Provoke Debate
|
|
|
Three new papers attempt to replicate, in large prospective studies, findings published last year regarding a polymorphism--KIF6--that is believed to be associated with heart disease. The company funding the research--Celera--is so excited by the findings that it plans to launch a diagnostic test for KIF6. But an accompanying editorial says more work is needed to validate these findings. Heartwire
