| | In a recent National Lipid Association journal article featuring Dr. deGoma and his practice, Dr. deGoma said "My personal and professional journey to prevention took longer than my 3-year cardiology fellowship more than 25 years ago, but it changed the way I practice cardiology. Prevention is the missing component of cardiac care."  
The science behind prevention is solid but its implementation in clinical practice is weak. NJ Preventive Cardiology started aggressive prevention in 2001. In 2004, ACC president asked the question - So, why aren't all cardiologists preventive? In 2010, healthcare reform gives prevention its rightful place in cardiac management.
