Physicians not only as healers, but as mentors and motivators.

An important factor for successfully treating most high risk patients to treatment goals is maximizing patient's compliance with drug therapy. Enabling the patients understand the nature of their disease process in simple but accurate terms and explaining how treatment can alter the normal progression of atherosclerosis are very important achieving the ultimate goal - improving patient outcomes.

Keep the patients informed on their progress.

Discuss media news about medications that your patients are taking. Misinformation abounds in the Internet and in the media. Physicians are the source of reliable information for their patients.
