title: Rapid cholesterol measurement: patient classification in heart risk evaluation clinics.
abstract: Plasma cholesterol levels of patients attending a heart risk evaluation clinic were measured both in the clinic at the time of attendance, and later in a reference laboratory. The workflow of evaluation clinics may be improved, and patient satisfaction enhanced, by in situ measurement, since more than 60% of patients can be given a complete risk score at the time of attendance.
