Although diet is the leading contributor to premature death from heart disease in the United States, fewer than one-quarter of people who undergo major heart events receive dietary counseling in the aftermath, a study finds. The reason for such a low rate, researchers suggest, may be a lack of time for providing the counseling or expertise in this area by clinicians.
