Abstract
H For 3 decades, my career has focused on preventive ealth issues and evidence-based medicine, with specific eference to the primary and secondary prevention of cornary artery disease. I’ve been privileged to work at a major niversity-based medical center and, more recently, 1 of the nest hospitals in the nation, soon to be affiliated with a new edical school. Accordingly, my clinical and academic esponsibilities are typical of many faculty members and nclude patient evaluation, treatment, and counseling; reearch; professional volunteer service; and teaching underraduate and graduate students as well as medical students, esidents, and cardiology fellows. I’ve also regularly reiewed manuscripts for numerous scientific and clinical ournals and have given many invited presentations to local, tate, national, and international medical and lay audiences. Almost invariably, after a talk, I’m inundated with snail ail, e-mail, and personal requests for slides. No, not data r trial methods, but rather requests for cartoons, joke slides, nd, perhaps most of all, the “memorable cardiology uotes” from interviews, presentations, or publications that ’ve shared from esteemed colleagues and past and present uthorities. Listed here are some of the favorites (and their ources) that I’ve used in my teaching and presentations ver the years, with specific reference to preventive cardilogy. I’ve listed them under the following general categoies: the individual “at risk”; coronary angiography and ngioplasty; diagnostic testing; heart-healthy eating; exerise, physical activity, and obesity; cardiovascular risk reuction; and patient counseling. Although most quotations re as applicable (and accurate) today as they were when hey were originally put forth, a few clearly missed the mark nd were subsequently discounted.
