The russert impact: a golden opportunity to promote primary coronary prevention.

Year: 2008

Type: article

Abstract: Most Americans are well aware of the sudden cardiac death (SCD) sustained by television personality Tim Russert recently. Although such tragic events are associated with considerable sadness from many sectors of our society, the medical profession should seize this opportunity as a teachable moment to emphasize and maximize the primary prevention of coronary heart disease (CHD). Within the first few days following his SCD, many clinicians were fielding questions and concerns from patients worried that if this happened to Russert, it might happen to them as well.1
