AHA, ACC Stand Firm in Support of Cardiovascular Risk Calculator

AHA, ACC Stand Firm in Support of Risk Calculator - MedPage Today:

"The dust-up over the new cardiovascular disease prevention guidelines -- already named "Calculator-gate" -- prompted the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology to stage a public defense at a hastily assembled press briefing here.

Although there are four guidelines in the new prevention package it is the assessment of risk -- the so-called risk calculator -- and the recommendation that statins be used as primary prevention that have drawn fire."

FDA Joins Celebration of American Heart Month

Celebrating American Heart Month—Making Heart Healthy Choices in 2013 | FDA Voice:

"Each year, nearly half of all Americans make New Year’s resolutions. They often include losing weight, starting an exercise program, quitting smoking, and making healthier food choices—all of which contribute to a heart-healthy lifestyle. February is American Heart Month, and the timing couldn’t be better to make these lifestyle changes, especially since heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S.

FDA joins in the commemoration of American Heart Month by highlighting agency initiatives to help Americans reduce their risk of heart disease."
