It Can Be Predicted, therefore Prevented http://www.prweb.com/releases/2008/06/prweb1032414.htm Representatives of the Society for Heart Attack Prevention and Eradication join with millions across the USA who are mourning the untimely death of NBC News' Tim Russert, host of Meet the Press, from a sudden heart attack last Friday. SHAPE agrees that Mr. Russert's death shows heart attacks are not easy to predict by the old fashioned and still prevailing approach that relies on the poor predictive power of risk factors and stress testing. They strongly believe that more accurate risk assessment using novel technologies followed by aggressive preemptive treatments of the right people and proper monitoring can result in a timely prevention and ultimately eradication of heart attacks. This goal is achievable in our lifetime and the SHAPE representatives urged national cardiovascular healthcare and research policy makers to commit necessary funding to accomplish this mission.

While multiple screening tests are approved for early detection of subclinical cancers, no tests are officially approved for detection of subclinical atherosclerosis, which underlies both heart attack and stroke. This void leaves many individuals - even those with severe atherosclerosis -unaware of their risk because they have no symptoms. In this context, leading cardiologists from the Society for Heart Attack Prevention and Eradication applaud the efforts of Dallas Heart Study researchers who discovered existing national heart attack prevention guidelines missed 27% of patients with plaque buildups in their heart providing important evidence that inexpensive imaging tests can identify patients at risk and lead to strategies that will prevent heart attacks. Independent of SHAPE, researchers with the Dallas Heart Study have confirmed that the most effective way to identify at-risk individuals is not to measure risk factors but to detect the underlying disease itself, atherosclerosis, as suggested by the SHAPE Guidelines.
