Physicians urge narrower cholesterol screenings
In Philadelphia the American College of Physicians urges doctors to skip cholesterol tests for low risk adults under 35 or over 65 unless clear risk factors exist, arguing routine screening offers little short term benefit while exposing patients to unnecessary therapy risks. Critics include government experts and the American Heart Association who say broad screening helps healthier lives. The ACP guidelines, published in Annals of Internal Medicine, contrast with NCEP recommendations to screen anyone 20 or older.
