Cardiologists say many health patients don't get best medications from doctors The Associated Press CLEARWATER, Fla. — Many doctors are not prescribing the right dnlgs for congestive heart failure, which afflicts 3 million Americans and costs $60 billion a year to treat, a cardiologist said Tuesday. Family doctors are less likely than cardiologists to use the drugs, raising questions about health re forms in which general practitioners are expected to serve as "gatekeepers," said Dr. Michael Bris tow of the University of Colorado School of Medi cine in Denver. In that role, family doc tors would make decisions about when patients should be referred to spe cialists. In a study to be pub lished this spring, Bristow found that only 24 percent to 30 percent of patients with heart failure were getting the drugs that have proven to be the best remedy. The information came from drug-compa ny marketing surveys, he said. Cardiologists now agree that virtually all pa tients with heart failure should receive the drugs, Bristow said. The underuse of the drugs suggests that overall treatment for heart failure is not ade quate in many cases, he said. The study also found that cardiologists' patients are about twice as likely to receive the drugs as are the patients of general' practitioners, he said. The findings will appear this spring in the Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation, he said. Dr. William Coleman, president of the Ameri can Academy of Family Physicians, disagreed with Bristow. "It's one of the first things you learn to treat as a senior medical student," he said. He said family doctors are perfectly qualified to treat it. "When "If those patients never get to a specialist, they will not be taken care of properly." - Dr. Michael Bristow, University of Colorado School of Medicine in Denver somebody's a specialist, they want to make some thing more complex than it is," said Coleman, who has a family practice in Scottsboro, Ala. Coleman said he believes many patients with mild or moderate heart failure do not need the drugs. Bristow said cardiologists are absolutely certain that the drugs are helpful even in mild cas es. "I've never seen a consensus like this," he said. The drugs — angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, or ACE inhibitors — have been avail able for nearly a decade. Within the past two years it has become clear they are superior even for treat- ment of inild or moderate heart failure, Bristow said. "The best treatment of heart failure is not being done now," he said at the annual science writers' meeting sponsored by the American Heart Associa tion. "If those patients never get to a specialist, they will not be taken care of properly." iart fail Heart failure refers to impairment of the heart's ability to pump blood. It is one of the leading causes of hospitalization, amounting to $5.5 billion in annual hospital costs alone. The total costs of caring for it is about $60 billion, Bristow said. Dr. James Moller, the heart association's presi dent and a pediatric cardiologist, agreed with Bris tow that ACE inhibitors were not being used wide ly enough. "I think the heart association should be doing a better job of getting our guidelines out to physi cians, he said. "We should be going to the acade my of family physicians' meetings and discussing this. Recent studies by the Rand Corp. and Merck & Co„ which is among the makers of the drugs, reached similar conclusions about the underuse of ACE inhibitors. Southwestern Black Student Leadership Conference presents: Date: Thursday, Jan. 20,1994 Time: 8:00pm Price: $3.00 Jesse Jackson, Jr. •ponsored by *» Program Corp. ol America Date: Friday, Jan.21,1994 Tlme:9:00 am Price:$3.00 Location: Rudder Auditorium Tickets on sale now at the Rudder Box Office Scale model of Branch Davidian complex created The Associated Press WATAUGA - A tire hang! from a tree branch. Chickens an frozen in place in their coop.And trash is scattered everywheref Newspaper tear sheets linger bf neath window sills, and piles:! I scrap metal and broken woodt: crates are stacked randomly around the yard. The Branch Davidian com pound has been re-created - oil a 1:76 scale, where everyfoo! equals 76 feet. Leo Palitti's scale model wa; created at his home in this Foil Worth suburb for use in theSat Antonio murder trial of the® pound's surviving members. Palitti, a 38-year-old design student, said he toiled over the/ foot-by-4-foot model former; than 280 hours, completing iti'j 16 days. With the helpofamag nifying glass and several aeria photos of the compound, h painstakingly copied eventki[ most marginal details of the fad I ity to ensure authenticity. "We had to figure out the seal; without a lot of help. There was: lot of guessing," he said. "I ws I only given five dimensions - oft ' across the front and a few aloft the side." Palitti said he never imagine: that his hobby of making dioft mas and scale models could pi: a significant role in the trial.Al though he started on the projft in December, Palitti said here: 5 ized the magnitude of hiswotj only last week, when he sawpq tos of the complex on a "Prifl Time" broadcast. "That's when I thought,'Gos this is a really big deal,"' hesai: "It didn't really hit me untl then." Palitti made the model attk request of Fort Worth attorn; Jeff Kearney, who is represent!: Jaime Castillo, a 25-year-o'l Branch Davidian. Palitti afl Kearney met more than a decaft ago when Palitti was a student: Texas Christian University. Kearney had heard aboij Palitti's dioramas and scale mn els and went to check out some his work. "It was obvious he wasgooi! he said. When Kearney asked Pali: about building a model off Branch Davidian compoun Palitti agreed. "He had approached meqt a while ago about doing them: el," he said. But Palitti didn'tW back from Kearney until sever months later. "He called me Christmas Eve and said he nee ; ed it by the 12th of January." Palitti, a full-time student^ local technical school, is proud his work. He started making d ramas and miniature mod' about 21/2 years ago, when saw an elaborate model raih put together by members of : Mid-Cities Rail Barons, a cl| that works with model trains
