UB cardiologist William Boden is quoted in an article on Reuters Health that reports a new study has shown that U.S. hospitals vary widely in how they decide who is eligible for coronary angiography. He said the procedure makes sense if stress tests indicate a serious problem, but for people at lower risk, lifestyle changes and medications are as good as stents at staving off heart attacks.
