Benefits of veg diet known to cardiologists, but they still don't recommend it to patients

The Post Chronicle | Health | Study: Veggie Diets Not Being Recommended

Not surprisingly, the study here has a connection to PCRM, but that won't stop it from getting reported on. Besides, it's true:
pilot survey of cardiologists revealed most know about the life-saving potential of a low-fat vegetarian diet for heart patients, but don't recommend it despite studies showing patients transition fairly easily to a low-fat diet that contains no animal products.

It would have been nice if this had been mentioned to my grandfather a couple years ago. He had a major heart attack, had surgery, got a pacemaker put in. He still has problems from it. I think he may have taken vegetarianism as an option if the doctors had ever mentioned it to him and my grandmother.
