[Critical and heretical thoughts on the development of cardiology. Limits of mental and social compliance attitude of the population].
Medicine in total and cardiology seem to be in state of continuous development. However partially unproved theories and therapies at great cost of energy and money without scientific proof and cost benefit analysis for patients before uncritically and undisciplined thinking or by authorities who support status quo. Our basis of the described theories of arteriosclerosis and cholesterol the multiple uneffective studies with reduction in levels of plasmalipids must be provided. There is also a change of thinking in therapeutical doing in infarction, because conservative or invasive therapies do not change mortality rates. In Germany usual social benefits just as rehabilitation after infarction or cardiac surgery must be checked. The return of medicine to the possible and in useful means is the beginning for new theoretical development. Static behavior seems to be comfortable, but it stops the necessary changes for the future.
