[caveat emptor]

CE: Did you read the article?
ND: Last week I believe.

Comments like "Do you want to do coronary artery biopsies, or will stress tests suffice?" suggest that you didn't pay close attention when you read the article, and that you don't give much thought to your comments when you make them.

The very idea that an invasive procedure to obtain samples of the coronary arteries of thousands of people with no history of "heart disease events" would be approved or even considered simply boggles the mind.

And if you post articles on medical research and have a link to the original article, please post it as well, perhaps in a comment. My guess is that there are plenty of people on FR who could read many of them with some understanding, though not necessarily with ease.

That should have been obvious, and the cost of doing so many stress tests would have been prohibitive.
