For example angioplasty of coronary arteries for &#8220;treating&#8221; stable angina (chest pain caused by inadequate blood flow to the heart during exercise) has been shown in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=medicalmyths.wordpress.com&blog=4095333&post=987&subd=medicalmyths&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

He’s really a winner. Dan Dupont has lost more weight than anyone profiled so far in the Shaping Up column: an incredible 260 pounds
