While some scientific doubt lingers with regard to the validity of minimizing mortality rates attributable to ischemic heart disease via nutritional strategies targeted at coronary risk factors, popular consensus is committed to such intervention. Chiropractic respondents largely support the notion that nutritional intervention can indeed facilitate prevention of ischemic heart disease. The precise strategies whereby such disease prevention may be achieved have proven problematic; even respondents who conceptually supported particular intervention strategies demonstrated some hesitation in clinically implementing their beliefs.
