Synopsis

Despite advances in research and treatment, coronary artery disease remains the major killer in the industrial world. Modern lifestyles add to the complexity of conditions which contribute to the disease and the inadequacy of treating cardiovascular factors in isolation is now widely recognized. Audit and other management techniques have facilitated the concentration of resources on those most at risk and have helped to develop a range of protocols on aspects of prevention.
