ABSTRACT

It must be reported that at the present time there are no effective means by which the occurrence of ischaemic heart disease can be prevented. Such therapeutic measures as are available must therefore be applied to the disease itself in the hope of delaying its progression or preventing late complications ..... Nevertheless, much further research is needed before public health authorities can recommend major alterations in the diet, or are justified in advising that more or less of any particular kind of fat would be beneficial.9
